This grant is for the comprehensive review and revision of the Alaska Migratory Bird Co-Management Council’s subsistence harvest survey. The primary purpose is to enhance the existing survey design and methods. This involves critically examining current practices, developing and rigorously testing alternative methodologies, and ultimately recommending a preferred strategy that is both scientifically defensible and culturally acceptable. Key tasks include identifying and describing important factors like cost, potential bias, accuracy, and precision of the current survey. Furthermore, the initiative will evaluate alternative approaches to ensure the recommended solution best meets the vital objectives of monitoring migratory bird subsistence harvest effectively and practicably.
