Florida Shorebird Conservation Initiative

This proposal will sustain activities of the Florida Shorebird Alliance (FSA) to enhance shorebird and seabird populations along the Florida Gulf Coast for two years. FSA is a statewide network of government and non-governmental organizations advancing shorebird and seabird conservation through coordinated and collaborative management, monitoring, education and outreach, and public policy activities. Under the leadership of the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) and Audubon Florida, FSA has proven to be very effective at engaging volunteers in shorebird conservation across the state.
