The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is offering a cooperative agreement to the Mississippi Flyway Council. This grant is for continuing a vital project that monitors the status of Canada geese populations across the Mississippi Flyway. Federal and State personnel collaboratively conduct population surveys in Manitoba and Ontario, assessing nesting conditions, success rates, and overall population size. The Service provides substantial involvement, including a pilot-biologist and plane for surveys of the Eastern Prairie Population in Manitoba. The critical population data gathered from these activities is essential for fulfilling management responsibilities under the Migratory Bird Treaty with Canada and the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, ensuring informed conservation efforts for migratory birds.
