This BLM CA grant is for establishing a comprehensive monitoring program for the Western Snowy Plover, a federally threatened species, at South Spit and other BLM-managed beach areas. Mandated by the Endangered Species Act, this initiative aims to track plover use and nesting activity to support species recovery efforts. Monitoring will occur approximately twice weekly during the breeding season (March 1 – September 5) and monthly during the non-breeding season. This crucial monitoring component is essential for assessing the effectiveness of ongoing habitat restoration work, ensuring the success of recovery actions for not only the plover but also other endangered species like the Humboldt Bay wallflower and beach layia within these vital coastal habitats.

| Description: | The South Spit is home to three federally endangered species. The Humboldt Bay wallflower and beach layia are listed as endangered while the western snowy plover is listed as threatened. The Endangered Species Act obligates federal agencies to monitor species and implement actions to help the species recover. Monitoring is a critical component of habitat work as there is no other if the habitat work is successful.
This project will monitor western snowy plover use at South Spit and other BLM managed beach areas. Monitoring will occur approximately twice per week during the breeding season, March 1- September 5, and once per month during the non-breeding season. Survey effort may be adjusted based on the amount of nesting activity. |
