Description:
Abstract:
This data package presents legacy data collected during 1985-1988 at Izembek Lagoon on the western end of the Alaska Peninsula. The data were collected in support of a multi-year study focused on aircraft disturbance of waterfowl, particularly Black Brant, Emperor Geese, and Cackling Geese. The study was conducted at Izembek Lagoon and included several study sites within the lagoon: Halfway Point, Grant Point, Outer Marker, Quarter Point, Applegate Cove, Norma Bay, Round Island, and Banding Island. The primary objectives were to 1) determine the effects of aircraft overflights and other human activities on the behavior, distribution, and habitat use of Brant, Cackling, and Emperor Geese, 2) examine noise levels associated with aircraft overflights and determine whether the behavioral response of geese is influenced by noise, and 3) evaluate the potential impact of disturbance on the energetic requirements of fall-staging Brant.
The raw data are provided in a .CSV format, however, PDF digital scans of original field data sheets, tables, figures, and maps are also available upon request.
Purpose:
Between 1985-1988, biologists with the USFWS Special Studies Program (precursor to USFWS Alaska Region departments and ultimately the Ecosystems Office at the USGS) collected biological and observational information on waterbirds at Izembek Lagoon, Alaska to examine the response of waterfowl to disturbances such as aircraft, watercraft, vehicles, people, and avian predators. Izembek Lagoon contains one of the largest eelgrass beds in the world and the importance of this resource to waterfowl has led to its designation as a wetland of international importance (RAMSAR). Long-term studies on waterfowl productivity and behavior allow scientists to evaluate the health of waterfowl populations and the environments supporting them.
