註釋
The piping plover is a shorebird listed as endangered which breeds in only three Canadian national parks. This study compares a five-year dataset (1983-87) collected before special protection measures were implemented in 1988, with a five-year data set immediately following implementation (1988-92). The protection measures included closing to public use of nesting areas vulnerable to human disturbance, and protection of nests from depredation by wire mesh enclosures. In addition, comprehensive interpretation and public education programs have sought co-operation and support from the beach-using public. Results presented include nesting and hatching success, fledging success, survival rates, nest predation and abandonment rates, and nest losses due to storm flooding.
