land-based predator survey group: a summary and up-date

A summary of considerations and decisions made by the correspondence group on land-based predator abundance is provided for comment by the Working Group. In order to complete specifications for future survey work, the correspondence group seeks advice from the Working Group on the relevant spatial unit for estimation in Area 48 and the required precision for estimation in each unit. A workshop addressing survey design issues is proposed for 2006. Terms of reference for the workshop are provided for comment.
