 their crop yields given the constraints of policy. We
consider a population of waterfowl with an initial abundance and manager
target abundance of 200, but whose carrying capacity is 2000. Waterfowl
consume and destroy all crop yield upon arrival to a landscape cell. In
each time step, waterfowl are observed on a random subset of cells, then
managers extrapolate from density per cell to estimate total population
size. Managers then use these estimates to set costs of culling and
scaring waterfowl for five
