The North American Arctic Goose Conference and Workshop for more than thirty years has been the premier meeting for bringing together waterfowl managers, conservationists, students, and researchers with an interest and passion for geese. This conference has grown from a small meeting involving only those with an interest in North American Snow Geese to an international meeting addressing science, conservation and management of geese nesting throughout the arctic. This conference has been unique by providing a venue for interaction between, managers, students, and researchers.. Today, a number of conservation issues face waterfowl managers from overabundant stocks of some populations to managing harvest on mixed stocks, some of which require protection. In the face of global climate change, evolving agricultural practices and increased urbanization there is a greater need than ever for fruitful interactions. The North American Arctic Goose conference has provided these interactions in the past and the Eleventh meeting promises to do so as well.

    
        The 11th Arctic Goose Conference is a forum for managers, researchers, students and other interested individuals to exchange their concerns, ideas, data, and solutions to the issues facing Arctic nesting geese. The conference will feature plenary presentations by internationally recognized speakers and a symposium on methods for determining harvest derivation.
