Pacific Black Brant (Branta bernicla nigricans) is a subspecies of the brant goose that breeds in Alaska and winters in Baja California and Mexico. Management of Pacific Flyway brant is conducive upon consistent, rigorous and defensible population indices to ensure appropriate adaptive harvest management. The Pacific black brant is a Tier 1 Priority Species for the Fish and Wildlife Service, Alaska Region; a focal species for the Fish and Wildlife Species; and is considered extremely important to subsistence and recreational waterfowl hunters. Because approximately 80 percent of Pacific Flyway brant overwinter in Mexico, it is essential the Service obtain annual population estimates to assess recreation and subsistence harvest, nonhunting mortality, and other factors influencing survival, mortality and population abundance and trend. Terra Peninsular, A.C. Calle Tercera 1282, Zona Centro, Ensenada Baja California, Mexico has the professional knowledge, skills and abilities to conduct the required ground based and boat based surveys to assess the distribution and abundance of Pacific brant overwintering in bays, estuaries and wetlands in four major coastal lagoons of Baja California (Bahia de San Quintin, Laguna Ojo de Liebre Guerrero Negro, Laguna San Ignacio and Bahia Magdalena) and along the west coast of mainland Mexico from the Colorado River Delta to Bahia Santa Maria in Sinaloa. In addition, Terra Peninsular has the experience necessary to handle all logistics necessary to transport boats, motors, field gear, and personnel to field sites to count brant.
