Abstract:

Wildlife populations rise and fall. For example, game animals, including deer and wild turkeys, existed in low numbers during most of the 20th-century. However, wildlife management has contributed to their remarkable recovery.

Abstract:

Eight North Carolina farms are currently participating in a special wildlife management project in which they are willing to modify farm operations to increase wildlife populations on their land. Each farm is managed to fulfill the needs of the landowners and also improve wildlife habitat.

Abstract:

Loss of habitats threatens bird populations worldwide. In the 1980s, Birdlife International began a program to identify and protect important bird areas in Europe. The program reached the United States in 1995, and North Carolina launched its program in 1998. To date nearly 90 Important Bird Areas (IBAs) have been designated across the state. Though no legal protection is granted by IBA recognition, still it is a blueprint for wildlife conservation.

Abstract:

The author states that by monitor the nest boxes of barn owls they will be able learn more about their populations and how they are distributed. The author states that they also want to learn barn owl nesting time, clutch size, and nest success. The questions the Barn Owl Project is trying to answer is: what factors play a role in occupancy, what happens to juveniles when they leave the nest, what is the distance the adults travel to hunt, and what is the frequency of adults returning to the nest. The author discusses that these answers can be obtained through banding of the Barn Owls.

Abstract:

In this article the author discusses how citizen science projects help individuals and community members to get outside. The citizen science projects will have you to identify different habitats and species of animal that live in North Carolina. The author also discusses that these citizen science projects can also help you and your family get outside. Lastly, the author states that having more people volunteering in identifying native species increases the odds of correctly identifying individual species.

Abstract:

In this article the author is discussing the detailed information that the North Carolina Wildlife Commission has on the striped bass. The first thing discussed by the author is that striped bass are androgynous and different parts of their life they in live in freshwater and saltwater. Striped bass move to fresh water to spawn and reproduce and the Roanoke River is where this occurs in North Carolina. The path the striped bass follows is Atlantic Ocean, Albemarle Sound, and then the Roanoke River to spawn. The striped bass will then spend around two to four years maturing in the Albemarle Sound before venturing off into the Atlantic Ocean. When the spawn hatch the currents will take them to the Roanoke River then to the Albemarle Sound. Since the life span of striped bass is around twenty years the process of migrating is repeated multiple time throughout their life. The striped bass is considered a popular sport fish but this would lead to them being over fished which occurred between 1970 and 1980. This lead to strict regulations to help increase the fish population. The North Carolina Wildlife Commission and Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission was appointed to manage the striped bass.

Abstract:

In this article the author is talking about the importance of being goal orients in citizen science projects. One example the author gives is about the N.C. Bird Atlas which wants to log all of the bird species in North Carolina over the next five years. Previously stated would be the long term goal and the short term goal would be to have volunteers in the community to observe birds during the winter to log their migration patterns. Another long term goal would be to correlate changes in bird migration patterns to climate change. Another example given by the author was the N.C. Alligators iNaturalist project. This program asks that volunteer community members to take picture of alligators and to upload them into the iNaturalist mobile app. The long term goal of this project is to learn about the natural distribution of alligators in North Carolina. The short term goal is to learn about North Carolina alligators behaviors in different areas of North Carolina.

Abstract:

The North Carolina Wildlife Resource Commission's program to promote black bear, turkey, and deer populations has been phenomenally successful. Now the agency is starting a five-year program called Cooperative Upland-Habitat Restoration and Enhancement, or CURE. Powell describes the program which will promote small-game populations like quail.

Abstract:

In this article the author was discussing the changes that the commission had approved in regard to the amount of fish being captured per day. The author discussed that the commission had approve a rule that would limit the amount of fish that could be kept and that amount would be one to two and they also reduced the length of the season. The commission stated that the limit of fish being kept to one or two was to help manage the harvesting quota. The commission also stated that they are optimistic with the reductions in fishes kept will help with the spawning fish in both the Roanoke river and the Albemarle sound. History has shown that reductions like in the past helped to reduce the decline in the fish populations in these body of waters.
