The Ontario Government must ensure that Piping Plovers are conserved and protected by a science-based management plan and resources that:
Reduce threats to Piping Plover and their habitat year-round by restricting mechanical raking so that the habitat is not destroyed, prohibiting dune alteration, and protecting nests with fenced buffer zones and natural predator mitigations.
Commit funding to protect, conserve, and steward Piping Plovers, their nests, and their habitats.
Engage experts like Birds Canada at development and implementation phases.
Transferring critical habitat to a local government appears to show an intention to remove any form of legal protection. Is the government ready to be accountable for a decision that may result in habitat destruction? How will this habitat be protected going forward?
