This data set can be used to identify a Bear Management Area, which is an area of Crown land licenced annually to a tourist operator for providing bear hunting services to non-resident clients.

Some BMAs can completely surround private or patent land. Bear hunting services can occur on these lands provided the licenced tourist operator allocated the BMA has obtained permission of the land owner to provide bear hunting services on the property.

Supplementary tables can be used and are available for download from the additional documentation section.
