Loss of Waterfowl Production to Tide Floods
Hansen HA. 1961. Loss of Waterfowl Production to Tide Floods. The Journal of Wildlife Management. 25(3):242-248
The possibility of waterfowl nesting losses of catastrophic proportions in certain Arctic areas has been recognized for 20 years or more. Cottam, et al, reporting a waterfowl reconnaissance of the Maxkenzie River delta in 1940 by Gillham and Lynch, pinpoint the crux of the situation. The purpose of this paper is to summarize two field studies in Alaska where conditions comparable to the situation cited above have been under observation.
