Document Description
Conduct a three-year study of water bird (including shorebirds and waders) use of the North Basin in Eastshore State Park in order to determine waterbird response to disturbance. Experimental studies will include six trials using non-motorized watercraft to determine how such disturbance affects distribution, abundance, and behavior of waterbirds within the basin. Study results will inform management recommendations designed to minimize disturbance to rafts of wintering ducks and other waterbirds in the North Basin and to prevent adverse impacts.
