A CLS Group Company EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Conservation managers confront diverse and ever-changing threats to the properties they are charged with maintaining and protecting. Long term planning to sustainably manage and protect diverse assets for a wide range of uses is central to this mission. The Trustees of Reservations (Trustees) manages over 100 special places and 26,000 acres around Massachusetts (Trustees, 2014) . The properties they manage include more than 70 miles of coastline (Trustees, 2014), an area that is subject to climate driven changes in sea level, storm surge and inundation. From the Castle at Castle Hill to popular public beaches, cultural and historical points, rare and endangered species habitats, lighthouses and salt marshes, the Trustees oversee diverse assets. They are charged with managing these properties to conserve habitat, protect cultural resources and provide exciting and diverse educational and recreational activities for visitors.

    Inventory of Habitat Modifications to Sandy Beaches in the U.S. Atlantic Coast Breeding Range of the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus) prior to Hurricane Sandy: Maine to the North Shore and Peconic Estuary of New York1 Tracy Monegan Rice Terwilliger Consulting, Inc. June 2015 Recovery Task 1.2 of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) Recovery Plan for the piping plover (Charadrius melodus) prioritizes the maintenance of “natural coastal formation processes that perpetuate high quality breeding habitat,” specifically discouraging the “construction of structures or other developments that will destroy or degrade plover habitat” (Task 1.21), “interference with natural processes of inlet formation, migration, and closure” (Task 1.22), and “beach stabilization projects including snowfencing and planting of vegetation at current or potential plover breeding sites” (Task 1.23) (USFWS 1996, pp. 65-67). This assessment fills a data need to identify such habitat modifications that have altered natural coastal processes and the resulting abundance, distribution, and condition of currently existing habitat in the breeding range. Four previous studies provided these data for the United States (U.S.) continental migration and overwintering range of the piping plover (Rice 2012a, 2012b) and the southern portion of the U.S. Atlantic Coast breeding range (Rice 2014, 2015a). This assessment provides these data for one habitat type – namely sandy beaches within the northern portion of the breeding range along the Atlantic coast of the U.S. prior to Hurricane Sandy. A separate report assessed tidal inlet habitat in the same geographic range prior to Hurricane Sandy (Rice 2015b). Separate reports will assess the status of these two habitats in the northern and southern portions of the U.S.

Situated between the Atlantic barrier beach and the estuaries of the Great Marsh, the Center will be a regional hub for coastal exploration and enhance The Trustees’ commitment to climate issues by offering visitors an immersive educational experience around our changing coast. The ground floor of the two-story structure—which will be built on the footprint of the current Snack Shack building—will house Crane Beach’s new refreshment stand and retail store, while the upper floor will provide open-air classrooms, touch tanks, and educational space to serve the reservation’s 350,000 annual visitors.

  • Nomans Land Island National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan September 2010
    U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Nomans Land Island National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan September 2010 Nomans Land Island Cliffs Erin Victory/TCI This goose, designed by J.N. “Ding” Darling, has become the symbol of the National Wildlife Refuge System. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is the principal Federal agency responsible for conserving, protecting, and enhancing fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The Service manages the 150-million acre National Wildlife Refuge System comprised of more than 550 national wildlife refuges and thousands of waterfowl production areas. It also operates 70 national fish hatcheries and 81 ecological services field stations. The agency enforces Federal wildlife laws, manages migratory bird populations, restores nationally significant fisheries, conserves and restores wildlife habitat such as wetlands, administers the Endangered Species Act, and helps foreign governments with their conservation efforts. It also oversees the Federal Assistance Program which distributes hundreds of millions of dollars in excise taxes on fishing and hunting equipment to state wildlife agencies. Comprehensive Conservation Plans provide long term guidance for management decisions and set forth goals, objectives, and strategies needed to accomplish refuge purposes and identify the Service’s best estimate of future needs. These plans detail program planning levels that are sometimes substantially above current budget allocations and, as such, are primarily for Service strategic planning and program prioritization purposes. The plans do not constitute a commitment for staffing increases, operational and maintenance increases, or funding for future land acquisition. U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Nomans Land Island National Wildlife Refuge Comprehensive Conservation Plan Septmeber 2010 Refuge Vision Statement We envision Nomans Land Island NWR to be a vital and unique maritime resource for migratory birds along the Atlantic Flyway.
