Land Conservation and habitat restoration for Western Snowy Plover along Monterey Bay

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service���s Ventura Fish and Wildlife Office seeks to provide to land owners and managers a regional, climate-smart planning approach and framework to identify, prioritize, and coordinate land conservation and habitat restoration efforts for the western snowy plover along the Monterey Bay. This framework document would include analysis and summary of data on current threats to the species, plus the predicted future effects of climate change. This framework document would also include prioritization of coastal habitats and beach segments for climate-smart restoration and/or enhancement. Finally, summarized findings would be presented at a regional workshop for restoration specialists, agency stakeholders, coastal landowners and conservation lands managers.
