Deacy W. 2021. 2021 Dall’s Sheep Survey Summary: Gates of the Arctic National Park and Preserve. National Park Service, Arctic Inventory and Monitoring Program. Fairbanks, AK
The National Park Service conducted an aerial survey for Dall’s sheep July 8th-14th, 2021. Four aircraft based out of Galbraith Lake and Coldfoot surveyed three different survey areas in Gates of the Arctic Park and Preserve (GAAR): Itkillik, Anaktuvuk, and Southeast Gates of the Arctic Park. The survey used a standardized distance sampling protocol. Accurate Dall’s sheep abundance and demographic data are critical for sustainable management of Dall’s sheep populations and their harvest.
