KENAI, Alaska (AP) — Poor habitat is responsible for a diminished moose population in an area that spans most of the northern Kenai Peninsula, and it’s unlikely to improve in the coming years, a Kenai National Wildlife Refuge official said.
Alaska Department of Fish and Game biologists counted 1,600 moose in Game Management Unit 15A, according to census figures released last week. That’s down several hundred from the most recent survey in 2008, the Peninsula Clarion reported (http://is.gd/gVSTy8 ).
