Bear on Stockton Island

Black bear populations on the islands have their ups and downs.  Between 2002 and 2010 the bear population on Stockton Island fell from 26 to 13.  More bears were found on Oak Island (18) than on Stockton, and the numbers on Sand Island almost doubled from 6 to 10 individuals during that time.
