This grant is offered to fund robust scientific research focused on understanding the physiological responses of brown bears to increasing human visitation on the Lake Clark (LACL) Coast. The primary purpose of this project is to assess relative stress levels in bears and determine how varying levels and types of visitor activity influence this stress. As visitation grows, gaining insights into its potential impact on local bear populations is crucial for ensuring minimal ecological disruption while preserving valuable public viewing opportunities. The findings from this research will inform best practices for bear viewing at Lake Clark and offer broader applicability for wildlife management in other similar parks and state lands.

| Description: | The robust science of the proposed project will inform on the best practices for conducting bear viewing on the coast of Lake Clark by assessing relative stress levels in bears and how level and type of visitor activity influences stress. As visitation increases, the need to understand how it may impact local populations of bears will be critical to ensuring minimal impacts to bears while allowing the public to have amazing opportunities to view these animals in their natural environment. Results will also help to inform management beyond Lake Clark, with applicability to other parks and states lands where similar bear viewing occurs. |
