"An evaluation of the electric bear fence project is necessary to measure the success of the management action. In this study, I will determine if an electric bear fence is a practical and publicly acceptable way to mitigate human-bear interactions. I will compile and analyze data regarding public usage, experience, and perception to evaluate the implementation of the electric bear fence within Congdon Creek Campground.The hope for this study is to evaluate the use of this approach and determine if it could be an effective tool to reduce negative human-bear interactions within territorial campgrounds."--from Introduction.
