The National Park Service is required by law to 'conserve the natural and historic objects and the wildlife [in parks] and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired....' The Alaska National Interest Lands Conservation Act of 1980 (ANILCA) additionally mandates the preservation of natural and healthy populations of wildlife in Katmai National Preserve. Fulfillment of these obligations requires information on the status and trends of wildlife populations and on their ecological relationships, and the incorporation of this information into park management. This plan delineates the monitoring and research necessary to provide needed information. Plan describes monitoring efforts focused on certain species of special interest, including Peregrine falcon, Bald eagle, Coastal seabirds, Brown bear, Wolf, Lynx, Mustelids (such as river otter, mink, and sea otter), Sea lion, Seal, Moose, and Caribou. The objective for each monitoring plan and its estimated cost is included for each species.
