This report discusses managing mountain goat populations and their habitats on Kodiak Island. The longterm management goal of the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge and the Alaska Department of Fish and Game is to maintain mountain goat abundances at levels that satisfy hunter harvest expectations while avoiding irreversible resource damage. To understand potential impacts of mountain goats flora, managers need to understand the relationships between Kodiak mountain goats and their habitat.
