GPS AND GIS ASSISTED MOOSE SURVEYS

Wildlife managers in Alberta are using Global Positioning System (GPS) and Geographical Information System (GIS) technologies to aid in aerial surveys of moose (Alces alces). GPS performed well for locating lines of stratification and SU boundaries, flying lines of latitude during stratification, fl...

GPS performed well for locating lines of stratification and SU boundaries, flying lines of latitude during stratification, flying overlapping survey lines within SU's, and recording moose locations during stratification and the detailed census. GIS worked well for map preparation and plotting moose locations. GPS and GIS contributed to reduced aircraft and manpower costs for moose surveys.
