Human Disturbances to Waterfowl

Annotated Bibliography


1. Atkinson-Willes, G. 1969. Wildfowl and recreation: a balance of requirements. British Water Supply 11:5-15.

The author accepts human disturbance to waterfowl as a given and proposes that compromises be worked out among water-based recreation interests to provide for the important role that Britain plays as wintering habitat for European waterfowl. Suggestions are given for consideration of the needs of waterfowl in working out these compromises. Sailing, canoeing, rowing, water-skiing, speed-boating, hydroplaning, fishing, bird-watching, picnicking, and shooting are considered as to how they affect waterfowl and how resource use might be partitioned. There is no literature cited section.
