Western Snowy Plover
San Francisco is a city renowned as a leader in the global effort toward environmental stewardship and sustainability. While San Franciscans often think globally, many residents also welcome the opportunities to act locally, which include the efforts to preserve and protect our seashores and their natural habitats.
Golden Gate Audubon is participating in the range-wide recovery effort for the Snowy Plover, a federally threatened species, which lives within our coastal beach areas. These pages are a resource for information about the Snowy Plover and for fostering community based stewardship of our local seashores.
Our objective is to support the Western Snowy Plover recovery effort, for habitat areas within San Francisco County, as prescribed in the US Fish & Wildlife Service recovery plan and to provide opportunities for San Franciscans to learn about and to participate in the stewardship of our coastal ecosystems, and to support the National Park Service in achieving a sustainable management strategy for the Snowy Plover and its seashore habitats.
