Environmental Management Associates,Description: 12 p. ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: During intensive waterfowl and habitat investigations at selected Ducks Unlimited (Canada) (DU) projects in 1980, investigators identified wetlands lying within a two kilometer radius of these project basin(s).These peripheral waterbodies were termed satelite wetlands. Crews noted the location, classification (wetland type) and numbers of waterfowl frequenting these wetlands. The objective of this exercise was to obtain a perspective on surrounding wetland habitat conditions and use of these wetlands by ducks. Potentially, these conditions could influence waterfowl utilization of the projects proper.
