SHOREBIRD NETWORK AND WINGS ACROSS THE AMERICAS

BROCKTON, MASSACHUSETTS IS A FANTASTICALLY DIVERSE BUT IMPOVERISHED CITY AND DESIGNATED ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE COMMUNITY WITH A RICH HISTORY. IT IS HIGHLY VULNERABLE TO FLOODING, POLLUTION, AND WATER SUPPLY DISRUPTIONS RELATED TO CLIMATE CHANGE, AND ITS SCHOOL SYSTEM FACES SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES. IT HAS BEEN HARD-HIT BY COVID-19. BROCKTON IS ALSO A CITY WITH A LONG HISTORY OF RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF ECONOMIC CHALLENGES AND A THIRST FOR EMPOWERMENT AND OPPORTUNITY. THIS PROJECT WILL BOOST CLIMATE RESILIENCE IN BROCKTON BY PARTNERING WITH SCHOOLS TO (1) SUSTAINABLY BOOST SCHOOL CAPACITY TO DEVELOP ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP AND RESILIENCE IN STUDENTS BY COLLABORATING TO DESIGN AND BUILD OUTDOOR LEARNING SPACES ON SCHOOL GROUNDS, AND TO PROVIDE TEACHERS WITH CURRICULAR TOOLS AND TRAINING FOR USE, (2) EMPOWER ELEMENTARY STUDENTS AND TEACHERS AS ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDS THROUGH OUTDOOR ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION, ENGAGING IN STEWARDSHIP ACTION TO BUILD GREEN INFRASTRUCTURE, AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT

SHORE BIRD RECOVERY PROJECT

WESTERN HEMISPHERE SHOREBIRD RESERVE NETWORK

WE PROPOSE TO CONDUCT A SHOREBIRD SURVEY OF THE COASTAL PORTIONS OF THE NPR-A, INCLUDING THE TLSA AND PORTIONS OF THE WESTERN NPR-A BELOW 350 METERS IN ELEVATION, FOLLOWING PROTOCOLS DEVELOPED BY THE PROGRAM FOR REGIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL SHOREBIRD MONITORING (PRISM). WE PROPOSE TO SURVEY THE TLSA AND WILLOW PROJECT AREAS IN YEARS 1 AND 2, AND WESTERN COASTAL AREAS INCLUDING THE KASEGALUK LAGOON SPECIAL AREA IN YEARS 3 AND 4. THIS SURVEY WILL PROVIDE THE FIRST COMPARISON OF CHANGES IN SHOREBIRD POPULATIONS AND DISTRIBUTION SINCE INITIAL SURVEYS WERE CONDUCTED IN NPR-A IN 2007-8. THESE DATA WILL SUPPORT BOTH THE RANGE-WIDE POPULATION TREND ESTIMATION GOALS OF PRISM, AND ALSO PROVIDE IMPORTANT BASELINE DATA ON SHOREBIRD STATUS, TRENDS, AND DISTRIBUTION BEFORE PLANNED OIL AND GAS INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT IN THE WILLOW PROJECT AREA OCCURS. NEW POPULATION ESTIMATES FOR THE NPR-A WILL HELP TARGET CONSERVATION ACTIONS BOTH LOCALLY AND RANGE-WIDE IF EXISTING DECLINES ARE CONFIRMED (OR NEW ONES ARE DETECTED) FOR ONE OR MORE SHOREBIRD SPECIES. UP TO DATE POPULATION ESTIMATES IN THE TLSA AND OTHER COASTAL AREAS OF NPR-A WILL ALLOW FOR MITIGATION MEASURES TO BE DESIGNED, IMPLEMENTED, AND ANALYZED FOR EFFECTIVENESS BY THE LAND MANAGER IN ORDER TO MITIGATE IMPACTS TO SHOREBIRDS FROM INFRASTRUCTURE DEVELOPMENT OF VARIOUS KINDS.WE WILL ALSO USE AUTOMATED RECORDING UNITS TO EVALUATE A POTENTIAL NEW METHOD TO SURVEY SHOREBIRDS AND TO DETERMINE HOW ANTHROPOGENIC AND NATURAL SOUNDS CHANGE AS THE WILLOW MASTER DEVELOPMENT PLAN (WILLOW) PROJECT AREA IS DEVELOPED, PROVIDING INFORMATION ON HOW SOUNDSCAPES CHANGE AND HOW THOSE CHANGES MAY INFLUENCE ANIMALS THROUGH TIME. AUTOMATED RECORDING UNITS (ARUS) WILL BE DEPLOYED AT A SAMPLE OF PRISM SITES ACROSS THE NPR-A TO DETERMINE IF ARUS COULD BE A COST EFFECTIVE AND LESS INVASIVE APPROACH TO SURVEYING SHOREBIRDS AS COMPARED TO PRISM RAPID SURVEYS IN THE FUTURE. USING ARUS COULD DRAMATICALLY DECREASE COSTS FOR OBTAINING DATA ON STATUS AND TRENDS OF MANY WILDLIFE SPECIES. FINALLY, ARUS WILL BE USED TO MEASURE CHANGES IN ANTHROPOGENIC AND NATURAL SOUNDS NEAR THE PROPOSED WILLOW PROJECT AREA BETWEEN 2023-2026 AS THE AREA UNDERGOES DEVELOPMENT OF OIL AND GAS INFRASTRUCTURE FOR THE PROPOSED WILLOW PROJECT.THIS PROJECT DIRECTLY ADDRESSES THREE BLM ALASKA WILDLIFE PROGRAM PRIORITY WORK AREAS THROUGH APPLICATION OF PRISM SURVEY PROTOCOLS FOR SHOREBIRDS, AND BY COLLECTION OF SOUNDSCAPE DATA THROUGH THE USE OF AUTOMATED RECORDING UNITS, INCLUDING INVENTORYING WILDLIFE POPULATIONS AND DISTRIBUTION, AND LEVERAGING RESOURCES THROUGH PARTNERSHIPS. SPECIFIC BLM MANAGEMENT ACTIONS THE PROJECT CAN HELP INFORM INCLUDE FUTURE IAPS, DEVELOPMENT OF PERMITS OF ALL TYPES, AND MANAGEMENT AND MITIGATION MEASURES FOCUSED ON SHOREBIRDS AND WATERFOWL. PUBLIC BENEFITS FROM THE PROJECT OUTCOMES WILL INCLUDE DISSEMINATION OF DATA IMPORTANT FOR ASSESSING STATUS AND TRENDS OF DECLINING SHOREBIRD SPECIES, DATA FOR ASSESSING WHETHER MORE COST EFFECTIVE SURVEY METHODS CAN BE DEVELOPED BASED ON ARUS, AND DATA ON BASELINE ANTHROPOGENIC SOUNDSCAPES PRIOR TO AND AFTER DEVELOPMENT.

MANOMET WILL SURVEY SHOREBIRDS ON THE COASTS OF ECUADOR, PERU, CHILE, ARGENTINA, URUGUAY, AND CENTRAL SOUTHERN BRAZIL. EFFORTS WILL TARGET ALL NEARCTIC SHOREBIRDS BUT WILL SPECIFICALLY PROVIDE MUCH NEEDED INFORMATION ABOUT DECLINING OR POORLY KNOWN SPECIES, SUCH AS: HUDSONIAN GODWIT, WHIMBREL, BLACK-BELLIED PLOVER, RUDDY TURNSTONE, RED KNOT, SEMIPALMATED SANDPIPER, WESTERN SANDPIPER, SANDERLING, AND SHORT-BILLED DOWITCHER. VOLUNTEER OBSERVERS WILL BE TRAINED THROUGH TARGETED WORKSHOPS AND WILL FORM TEAMS WITH TRAINED PROFESSIONALS TO UNDERTAKE THE SURVEYS. MANOMET WILL COLLABORATE AND COORDINATE WITH NATIONAL, REGIONAL, AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS, AS WELL AS LOCAL NGOS AND LAND MANAGERS TO ENABLE THESE PARTNERS TO BECOME FULL PARTICIPANTS AND HAVE COMPLETE ACCESS TO ALL INFORMATION GENERATED BY THE PROJECT. SURVEY DATA WILL BE USED TO INFORM CONSERVATION ACTIONS, INCLUDING THE IDENTIFICATION OF NEW KEY BIODIVERSITY AREAS PROMOTING THE DESIGNATION OF NEW WESTERN HEMISPHERE SHOREBIRD RESERVE NETWORK SITES AND PROTECTED AREAS REVISING EXISTING MANAGEMENT ACTIONS AND PROPOSING NEW MANAGEMENT ACTIONS.

THE MONOMY-PLEASANT BAY SYSTEM OF CAPE COD, MASSACHUESTTS FUNCTIONS AS A PRIORITY 1 STAGING AREA FOR RED KNOTS AND HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS A WESTERN HEMISPHERE SHOREBIRD RESERVE NETWORK SITE OF REGIONAL IMPORTANCE. THIS AREA PROVIDES CRITICAL RESOURCES FOR AN ESTIMATED 1,500 - 2,000 KNOTS ANNUALLY (DOWN FROM EST, 5,000 A DECADE AGO) COMPRISED OF BIRDS FROM MULTIPLE WINTERING RECOVERY UNITS, INCLUDING 100-300 JUVENILES. THROUGHOUT THE LAST FEW DECADES, THERE HAS BEEN A SHIFT IN THE DISTRIBUTION AND ABUNDANCE OF KNOTS WITHIN THE MONOMOY-PLEASANT BAY SYSTEM, BUT THE CAUSE OF THIS SHIFT IS POORLY UNDERSTOOD. ONE HYPOTHESIS IS THA THE DISPLACEMENT OF KNOTS IS BEING DRIVEN BY THE SHIFTING DISTRIBUTION OF THEIR INVERTEBRATE PREY. TO TEST THIS HYPOTHESIS, TRADITIONAL METHODS AND A NEW ENVIRONMENTAL DNA (EDNA METABARCODING) TECHNIQUE WILL BE USED TO CHARACTERIZE THE BENTHIC INVERTEBRATE COMMUNITY IN TERMS OF DISTIRBUTION, ABUNDANCE, AND PHENOLOGY. SECOND, THE ACUTAL DIET OF THE KNOTS WILL BE INFERRED WITH THE METABARCODING ANALYSIS OF FECAL SAMPLES. THIS APPROACH WILL ALLOW FOR THE DOCUMENTATION OF PHENOLOGICAL CHANGES IN PREY ABUNDANCE AND DIVERSITY IN THE MONOMOY-PLEASANT BAY SYSTEM IN TANDEM WITH KNOT PREY CONSUMPTION. IF PROVEN EFFECTIVE, THIS PROTOCOL AND USE OF EDNA CAN BE COST-EFFECTIVE TOOL TO RAPIDLY CHARATERIZE PREY COMMUNITIES MONITOR CLIMATE-DRIVEN PHENOLOGICAL SHIFTS IN PREY SPECIESM AND INVESTIGATING SHIFTS IN ABUNDANCE OF SHOREBIRDS AT A GIVEN SITE. IN ADDITION, THIS PROJECT WILL ADDRESS SEVERAL OF THE DRAFT RED KNOT RECOVERY ACTIVITIES INCLUDING CHARACTERIZATION AND MANAGMENT OF A PRIORITY 1 STOPOVER AREA, ASSESSMENT OF THE RESPONSES OF KNOTS AND THEIR PREY TO STORM EVENTS AND COASTAL ENGINEERING PROJECTS, MONITORING OF PREY RESOURCES, AND DISTURBANCE MANAGEMENT RELATED TO THE AQUACULTURE INDUSTRY.
