The AFSI implementation plan for predation focuses management efforts on four coastal temperate breeding shorebirds American Oystercatcher Haematopus palliatus, Wilsonâ¿¿s Plover Charadrius wilsonia, Snowy Plover Charadrius nivosus, and the federally threatened Piping Plover Charadrius melodus. This project will improve and expand predator management efforts using the following strategies identified in AFSI 1 develop and promote BMPs 2 implement predator management efforts at representative demonstration sites and 3 assist with outreach and training activities through coordination with affiliated projects.
