kN[7u 3vspn3†5 3vspnDt[iq5 23 Nunavik Research Fact Sheet 23 mr[4 eu3Dxq5 98 Polar Bear Aerial Survey Development An aerial survey of the Foxe Basin polar bear subpopulation during August and September 2009, led by the Government of Nunavut and the University of Minnesota in partnership with the <strong>Makivik</strong>, Parks Canada, and local hunting and trapping organizations, represents a significant step in the development of less invasive ways to monitor polar bear numbers. Biologists often have used methods that require the capture of bears to estimate population abundance. Now a prime benefit of aerial surveys is that they do not require bear capture and handling. Because they may be completed in a single season, aerial surveys may enable more rapid monitoring of polar bear populations. Scientists flew more than 40,000 kilometres along coastal and inland areas of Foxe Basin over the course of the helicopter-based study. The Foxe Basin subpopulation boundaries extend from the Hudson Bay shore of Nunavik, northward to the Fury and Hecla Strait that separates Baffin Island from the Melville Peninsula. Because the research was completed during the late summer, ice-free season, virtually all the bears were confined to land. Observers sighted 816 polar bears across Foxe Basin and recorded their age, sex, and body condition. The final estimate of Foxe Basin bears will be based on the number seen, a calculation of the number not seen, and an extrapolation to areas that were not surveyed. The trickiest part of an aerial survey is estimating the number of bears that was missed. Many people have worked on solutions to this issue, and we are using a combination of methods that barrie ford appears to be highly accurate. In the past, polar bear aerial surveys have had largely mixed results so we’re very encouraged by the Foxe Basin data. This research will contribute to the development of an aerial survey method that can be used elsewhere in the Arctic. Information will also help to identify potential hotspots for human-polar bear conflict. The new information gathered during the aerial survey will be very valuable as we assess harvest sustainability, and it will provide baseline data to understand the effects of proposed developments and shipping. While the aerial survey technique will help scientists collect information on polar bear numbers, it is still important to gather data on body condition, birth and death rates, and the effects of climate change. Thus, the aerial survey method may not eliminate the need to capture and handle polar bears to meet conservation mandates. seth stapleton
