The Ontario Government must…

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 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.
- Commits funding to protect, conserve, and steward Piping Plovers, their nests, and their habitats.
- Engages experts like Birds Canada at development and implementation phases.

Selling the land does not guarantee the same monitoring that has previously taken place by staff and volunteers over these vital habitats. The ontario government must ensure protections remain in place for a critical indicator species.
