Resource Abstract:
- description: The Pacific walrus population inhabits the waters over the entire continental shelf of the Bering and Chukchi
seas. That population is a natural resource of paramount economic importance to coastal people of both Chukotka and Alaska,
and for that reason, it has been under intensive study by management biologists of the Soviet Union and the United States
for more than 50 years. Much has been learned about walruses in that time, but many important problems still remain unsolved.
The goal of this project has been to contribute further information on the subjects of (1) dynamics of the Pacific walrus
population, especially from an historical aspect, (2) the current seasonal distribution and movements of the various parts
of that population, (3) the principal kinds of foods eaten by the animals in different parts of their range and in different
seasons of the year, and (4) the reactions of walruses to man-made disturbances.; abstract: The Pacific walrus population
