The major objectives of the workshop were to: (1) identify gaps in the knowledge base on the effects of low-altitude aircraft operations on important wildlife species, populations, and habitat utilization; (2) identify and prioritize research needs by geographic areas; and (3) obtain recommendations for establishment of national field research steering committee. The workshop started with selected presentations designed to share information on current research activities and the related topics on aircraft noise measurement and physiological measurement of stress in animals. The workshop participants believed the following five research needs had the highest priority: (1) effects of aircraft noise and ordnance on bighorn sheep in the southwestern United States; (2) behavioral reactions and energetic costs of low-altitude subsonic aircraft flights on caribou; (3) behavioral reaction and energetic costs of aircraft disturbance on geese in Alaska; (4) impacts of helicopter and low-altitude, high-speed aircraft overflights on wintering waterfowl along the mid-Atlantic and Gulf coast; (5) and effects of low-altitude subsonic airplanes and helicopters on denning bears in the Artic.
