    Final Report: 2019 Western Snowy Plover Breeding in Coastal Northern California, Recovery Unit 2

    Final Report: 2019 Western Snowy Plover Breeding in Coastal Northern California, Recovery Unit 2 E.J. Feucht1, M.A. Colwell1, K.M. Raby1, J.A. Windsor1, and S.E. McAllister2 1 Wildlife Department, Humboldt State University, Arcata, CA 95521 2 6104 Beechwood Drive, Eureka, CA 95503 Abstract.—In 1993, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service listed the Pacific coast population of the Western Snowy Plover (Charadrius nivosus nivosus) as threatened under the Endangered Species Act. For the 19th consecutive year, we monitored plovers in Del Norte, Humboldt, and Mendocino counties in northern California (designated Recovery Unit 2 [RU2]). In this report, we summarize results from the 2019 breeding season and present a preliminary analysis on apparent survival of the local population using 19 years of mark-recapture data. In 2019, 72 adults (34 males, 38 females) bred in RU2, a 14% increase from 2018 and 48% of the recovery objective. First-time breeders made up 35-44% of the population, including 10-17 immigrants and 15 philopatric birds. Plovers nested on seven beaches (six in Humboldt and one in Mendocino) and fledged chicks at five locations. The sites with the most breeding plovers were South Spit of Humboldt Bay (n=30) and Centerville Beach (n=15). In total, plovers initiated 75 nests, hatched 100 chicks, and fledged 58 juveniles. For the fourth consecutive year, South Spit was the most productive site with 72% hatching success (23 of 32 nests) and 59% fledging success (37 of 63 chicks). Fledglings from South Spit made up 64% of the RU2 cohort, a percentage that has increased approximately 10% each year since 2016.

Direct staff to assist as needed. DISCUSSION /JUSTIFICATION: Del Norte County has previously corresponded with California State Parks over Off-Highway Vehicle access restrictions imposed on land adjacent to and within Tolowa State Park without adequate public due process. The board of Supervisors previously requested State Parks reopen the issue and propose a specific format for the suggested community dialogue. The California Department of Parks and Recreation replied to that request nine months later and has indicated that they feel their staff took adequate steps to invite public discourse on the issue. No additional action was proposed. The Blue Ribbon Coalition has requested the County take appropriate formal action in support of recreationists to address issues at Tolowa dunes State Park and Kellogg beach. The Del Norte County Board of Supervisors has taken steps to reopen the issue and involve the public with no cooperation from State Parks.

Conceptual EI Preliminary'Final n Final PROJECT DESCRIPTION This is the preliminarylfinal review of a request to repurpose the State Park's existing park office and visitor center to serve entirely as a park visitor center and then adjacent to the repurposed visitor center, construct a new building to support operational staff needs and provide additional educational space (Operations/Education building- OPED). The changes to the park visitor center/operations building(s) arc part of a larger series of public access and educational improvements proposed throughout Carpinteria State Beach funded by a Nature Education Facilities (NEF) grant and the Department of Parks and Recreation's (DRP) Interpretation Enhancement Program (IEP). In the area of the visitor center, the improvements would be competed to expand park services and visitor education, provide visual enhancement and increase accessibility for visitors. Improvements to the existing park office/visitor center are proposed as follows: The existing building would be repurposed to serve exclusively as the park's visitor center. An interior remodel would be completed to accommodate new exhibits and a living tide pool display. Exterior improvements include reconstructing the building's entry to better integrate architecturally with the existing building and to tie into the new, adjacent OPED building.
