    Treasure Coast FSA Post-Season Meeting 10/22/18 Notes American

    Treasure Coast FSA Post-season meeting 10/22/18 notes American Oystercatcher The AMOY population in the Indian River Lagoon Aquatic Preserve was discussed. Habitat preference was noted to be atypical in that birds will nest on islands in close proximity to tall vegetation, although often near the interior lagoons that exist on some islands. Habitat management to maintain early successional sites on spoil islands will continue for this species in the IRL AP. Also notable for this population was the presence of birds that appeared to be defending a nesting territory but did not nest. It was hypothesized that some environmental condition may be preventing the birds from nesting physiologically, like insufficient food resources or perhaps something more insidious like an environmental contaminant. Monitoring will continue. The AMOY pair at MC2 AKA Bird Island Critical Wildlife Area in Martin county nested and fledged one chick. Interest was expressed in banding the AMOY in the area to better understand movement patterns, site fidelity, survivorship, etc. A similar suggestion has been made for the AMOY in the Lake Worth Lagoon (Palm Beach County). Black Skimmer Rooftop-nesting Black Skimmers were successful at one Martin County rooftop site. One ground-nesting colony of Skimmers was present near the St. Lucie inlet in Martin County but were over washed before fledging any chicks. This represented the farthest south that any ground-nesting BLSK were observed in 2018. Least Tern Least terns successfully nested on one rooftop in each of our 3 counties. The Office Depot rooftop in Vero Beach had issues throughout the season with emergency rooftop/AC repairs.

The erosion problem areas are classified as either critical or non-critical and county maps and tables are provided to depict the areas designated critically and non-critically eroded. Many areas have significant historic or contemporary erosion conditions, yet the erosion processes do not currently threaten public or private interests. These areas are therefore designated as non-critically eroded areas and require close monitoring in case conditions become critical. This report, originating in 1989, is periodically updated to include additions and deletions. All information is provided for planning purposes only and the user is cautioned to obtain the most recent erosion areas listing available in the updated critical erosion report of 2016 on pages 4 through 20 or refer to the specific county of interest listed
