V. Policies on Satellite Telemetry

1 In the current reporting period, has your country undertaken Yes Noconservation/research projects that use satellite telemetry?

If Yes, please provide details (Indicate inter alia the scientific justification for the research, describe briefly the measurestaken to ensure that risks to the welfare of individual animals and – in the case of severely depleted populations – to thespecies are minimised, and summarise the results obtained):

A total of 12 light-bellied brent geese have been followed on migration to their breeding grounds in 1997 and 2001. Theaim of the project has been to identify unknown staging areas/staging behaviors of this endangered fly-way population ofgeese. The study has been highly successful in demonstrating a hitherto unknown linkage between Greenland andSvalbard breeding brent geese, and by identifying important staging areas in the western parts of Spitsbergen. Theattachment method used cause transmitters only to temporarily stay on the birds. The method had previously been testedon other goose species, and was considered harmless to the birds behaviour and migratory abilities. Indeed all transmitter-marked light-bellied brent geese survived the catch, handling and tracking, and returned to the wintering areas thefollowing winter.

2 Are any future conservation/research projects planned that will use Yes Nosatellite telemetry?

If Yes, please provide details (including the expected timeframe for these projects):

The Department of Coastal Zone Ecology of the National Environmental Research Institute hopes in the near future to beable to satellite-track black scooters and pintail. The aim of the projects will be to improve our understanding of the exactbreeding locations and potential stop-over use of black scooters wintering in Denmark, and exact wintering locations ofpintail staging in Denmark autumn and spring. Both or related species has been subject to several successful trackingstudies in North America. The time-frame is uncertain, because the projects awaits funding.

If No, please explain any impediments or requirements in this regard:
