Publication Type: Abstract Abstract: Beach-nesting birds in Florida, including American oystercatchers, black skimmers, least terns, snowy plovers and Wilson’s plovers, have declined due to habitat loss, increases in predators, and human activities. The goals of this multi-year research project include: assessing the knowledge and attitudes of beach users in Pinellas County, Florida, toward beach-nesting birds; evaluating municipal government beach management practices; and addressing beach user perceptions of beach-nesting birds through a multi-faceted education campaign. While portions of Florida’s coastline are protected and managed for preservation of biodiversity, many beaches are under the jurisdiction of county and municipal governments and are primarily managed for human recreation. Municipal beach management has the potential to increase the number of suitable nesting locations and thereby the number of individuals of the species. In the summer of 2007, 400 interviews were conducted with beach users at five Pinellas County beaches, using a semi-structured survey guide. Results indicate that beach users, whether local residents or not, support beaches as a place for birds to nest. The majority of beach users could not identify any of the five focal species of beach-nesting birds. An education campaign is being implemented to address gaps in beach user knowledge of beach-nesting birds.
