Abstract:
The objectives of this study were to analyze relevant data from Alaska Department of Fish and Game on the abundance, distribution, movements, and habitat use of moose, caribou, brown bear, black bear, Dall's sheep, and wolf in the upper and middle Susitna River basins, and to evaluate the adequacy of that information for assessing potential Susitna-Watana Hydroelectric Project's-related effects on these species. The study area covers Game Management Unit 13E primarily, but also includes parts of 13A, 14B, and 16A.
