Snow Goose Population Problem Part III

The Report

The 120-page report is the result of a year's work by leading waterfowl scientists and managers from the U.S. and Canada. This group of experts was directed to compile and examine scientific evidence on the overabundance of various populations of geese, then make management recommendations to the Arctic Goose Joint Venture Management Board (AGJV), an arm of the North American Waterfowl Management Plan.

The final report is about ready for distribution to waterfowl managers, researchers and administrators in all levels of government and the private sector in the United States and Canada. In addition to accepting and endorsing the report, the AGJV is working with the Canadian Wildlife Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, and various states, provinces and flyway councils to implement the report's recommendations.
