Atlantic Flyway Shorebird Initiative

Building on its success to reverse declines in American Oystercatcher along the U.S. Atlantic coast, NFWF is expanding its support to a broader, multi-species effort – the Atlantic Flyway Shorebird Initiative – that aims to increase 15 focal shorebird population levels within the flyway by 10 to 15 percent over a 10-year period. To achieve this, NFWF will support five overarching strategies outlined in the Atlantic Flyway Shorebird Business Plan: (1) manage and protect critical habitat; (2) minimize predation impacts, (3) reduce human disturbance, (4) reduce hunting pressure, and (5) fill information gaps.
