Objectif(s): To determine areas of importance to Pacific brant, greater white-fronted geese, Canada geese, tundra swans in the Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR); to determine numbers of the above-mentioned species in these areas; to determine the fall and winter distribution as well as annual suvival rates of Pacific brant, white-fronted geese and Canada geese from the ISR.

Description du projet: Data on the distribution, abundance, survival/mortality, and productivity are essential for the sound management of wildlife populations but there is a critical lack of such information for white-fronted geese, Canada geese, Pacific brant and tundra swan populations from the Inuvialuit Settlement Region. Helicopter surveys, ground counts and banding/neck collaring will help to determine distribution, abundance, migration routes and mortality.
