Abstract: In an effort to address current known biases in goose harvest data collection, our research project aims to test the efficacy of a new online data submission platform, streamline multiple concurrent surveys currently in place into one centralized survey, and reduce cost and time of current surveys to Federal and State Agencies. We are proposing the development and testing of an online, mobile-friendly, self-submission data platform for hunters to enumerate and speciate their own goose harvest. The goals are to develop and evaluate the platform, compare resulting data streams with current paper and parts collection surveys to evaluate accuracy and bias, and understand hunter satisfaction with the system.
