"Approximately 120,000 – 130,000 Brant (Branta bernicla) overwinter on the Pacific Coast, from Alaska to Mexico (Pacific Flyway Council 2004). British Columbia supports only about 2,500 winter residents which are largely restricted to the Fraser River Delta(FRD) and the Queen Charlotte Islands (QCI) (Campbell et al. 1990). These areas, in addition to the east coast of Vancouver Island (ECVI), support much larger numbers of Brant each spring, as up to 25% of all Pacific Flyway Brant stage in the Strait of Georgia(SoG) during their northern migration. ... The Canadian Wildlife Service (CWS) and partner agencies have undertaken a number of monitoring and research activities to better understand Brant population dynamics and habitat use in B.C. The purpose of this report is to summarize relevant information from these studies and to make recommendations on monitoring and research activities needed to manage Brant into the future"--Abstract, p. 1.
