Protect shorebirds while soaking up the sun. |
Visiting the beach is great, but people aren't the only ones who enjoy it. Vulnerable shorebird species like Piping Plovers and American Oystercatchers nest and raise their chicks right on the beach. But on crowded days, beachgoers or unleashed dogs can get too close to nesting shorebirds, exposing chicks and eggs to being crushed underfoot, overheating in the sun, or succumbing to predators.
All nesting birds need is a little bit of space. You can help protect shorebirds this summer by remaining in approved public beach areas and inspiring others to do the same. Raise awareness for nesting shorebirds with our new Share the Shore beach towel, weekender bag, tank tops, and more! | | | | |
