Objective(s): To obtain information on breeding populations of shorebirds and other avifauna on the islands of the Foxe Basin ; to develop methods for determining the distribution of wildlife habitats through the use of remote sensing technology;
Project Description: This is a continuation of a project begun in 1986 to study year to year variation in breeding densities of shorebirds. The Researcher and team will determine which species of birds breed on the islands of the Foxe Basin, which habitats they use and how their numbers change from year to year. They are also interested in producing a map of the main wildlife habitats on the islands using satellite images.
