An example of a bear collar. For this study, biologists will use brown and tan collars to reduce their visibility. NPS Photo. In 2014, biologists darted and handled a bear to remove a snare from her neck. The days following capture, she returned to Brooks Camp with her yearling and exhibited normal behavior. NPS Photo. Between captures, National Park Service and Washington State University staff will be present on the coast to conduct observations of bears foraging in tidal flats, sedges, and streams. This work will investigate the relative effort and caloric return of coastal foraging activities to help determine the importance each food type plays in overall bear health throughout the season.
