Authors concluded that banding and boating activities caused some groups of molting Canada geese (Branta canadensis) to desert sites. They suggested that presently known molting grounds be given added protection against human intrusion by boat and airplane use from June 15 to August 1. These recommendations were made in view of increasing oil, mining, tourism, canoeing, and fishing activities in northern Canada.
