Declining shorebird needs additional protections; fewer than 1,000 are estimated to remain in Florida.
Audubon Florida has officially petitioned the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) to list the Wilson’s Plover as a state-designated Threatened species under Florida’s Imperiled Species Rule (68A-27.0012, Florida Administrative Code). If additional protective action is not taken, this coastal bird species could disappear from Florida’s shorelines forever.
