The South Coast shorebird recovery program is designed to help threatened beach-nesting birds during their summer nesting period.
The South Coast Shorebird Recovery Program has been working hard to help threatened beach-nesting birds through the summer nesting period since 1999. The program aims to reduce the rate of decline of threatened beach-nesting birds and recover populations by enhancing breeding success along the south coast of New South Wales.
Some of the major threats to shorebirds in New South Wales are:
- accidental trampling by humans
- domestic dogs
- predators such as foxes, crows and cats
- storms, king tides and storm surges
- being squashed by vehicles.
