Adaptive goose management beyond borders

Alternativ tittel: Adaptiv gåseforvaltning over grenser

Tildelt: kr 4,4 mill.

I forhold til framdriftsrapport innlevert 1. oktober 2016 fremkommer nye resultater i listen over oppdaterte resultatindikatorer og i vedlegg. Det har vært gjennomført en mini-workshop i Danmark ved Aarhus Universitet der spesifiseringer og databehov for de siste modelleringene (scenarier for utfall av ulike jaktorganiseringer og tilrettelegginger for antall felte gjess) ble diskutert. Det er brukt en betydelig mengde tid mot SSB for å få tilgang til/lån av jegerdata fra Nord-Trøndelag som kan inngå som datagrunnlag. Disse er imidlertid nå stilt til rådighet, anonymisert og inngår som en av de mange modell input. Utover dette er mye av tiden brukt på å sammenfatte resultatene i manuskriptform for vitenskapelig publisering. Data som dette er basert på er resultatmessig de samme som fremkom ved forrige rapportering.

In the GEESE BEYOND BORDERS we will use the newly implemented International Species Management Plan (ISMP) for pink-footed geese Anser brachyrhynchus as a framework for method and model developments in a multi-stakeholder and multi-governance system. The harvest rate of geese is a central issue in the plan, and hunting practices and organisation at different levels will be key elements. Central in our research project is the adaptive management concept, which means that the ISMPs various actions are conti nuously monitored and evaluated to enable adjustment according to predicted and observed outcomes. The present project will have a relational and contextual approach, focusing on knowledge-based management (including perspectives on citizen knowledge) roo ted in an adaptive governance framework. Hence, the involvement of stakeholders is essential in the project. Moreover, the development of agent-based models, predicting the outcomes of various regimes of regional organisation of hunting on the numbers of harvestable geese, provides a novel approach in European wildlife management. The creation of governance arenas for communication, feedback and iteractive learning fits well into the priorities of the call. Several interrelated work packages will produce knowledge from both Norway and Denmark, and in Norway cases from Nord-Trøndelag, central Norway, will be in focus. Research activity and processes initiated in two NRC-funded projects will be further developed, and especially regarding the adaptive charac ter of the projects there is an advantage of an established network of stakeholders and users enhancing the efficiency of the project. The outcome and deliverables will be constructive and have positive consequences for wildlife management both at a natio nal and international level.
