As part of implementing the International Species Management Plan (ISMP) for the Svalbard Pink-footed Goose a number reports are produced to aid management decisions. These reports can be found below and are available for download in PDF-format here on the Svalbard Pink-footed Goose International Working Group website. At present there are no plans to produce printed versions of the reports.
Population Status Report: This report provides an annual overview and comment on the population status of the Svalbard pink-footed goose. It is based on population monitoring data collected and compiled internationally, along with ‘Hunting Bag’ data (estimated number of birds shot) provided by both Norway and Denmark. The data is used to monitor the population development and provide input data for the modelling of an optimal harvest strategy for the population.
Adaptive Harvest Management Report: This report outlines the adaptive harvest management (AHM) strategy for maintaining the Svalbard population of pink‐footed geese near the agreed target level set out in the ISMP (currently 60,000). It details an annual optimal harvest quota for a 3 year cycle of hunting seasons, providing for sustainable harvests in Norway and Denmark. In addition, it describes the process for evaluating whether hunting closures would be needed during the period, determined as part of an annual AHM review to ensure the population is maintained in Favourable Conservation Status.
