I am writing because I am concerned about the protection and management of important Piping Plover habitat at Wasaga Beach. I am concerned about the future of Piping Plovers at Wasaga beach and I want an outcome that continues to conserve the plovers.
The Ontario Government must ensure that Piping Plovers are conserved and protected by a science-based management plan and resources that:
• Reduces threats to Piping Plover and their habitat year-round. Appropriate actions would include (but are not limited to): restricting mechanical raking so that the habitat is not destroyed; prohibiting any and all forms of dune alteration; and protecting nests with fenced buffer zones and natural predator mitigations.
• Commits sufficient levels of funding to protect, conserve, and steward Piping Plovers, their nests, and their habitats.
• Engages experts like Birds Canada at development, implementation and management phases.
