Western Snowy Plover Nesting at Bolsa Chica, 2007 December 20075. Reduce sand export from created nesting sites.The surface sand has been reduced on the nesting sites due to blowing winds that export the sand intothe adjacent waterways, roadways, and cells. This is particularly evident on NS3 where much of thesurface sand has been displaced to the base of the hill and along the roadway between Cell 13 and 14.Installing drift fences along portions of the nesting sites would catch the blowing sand prior leavingthe nesting sites and would act to create small dunes. Caution should be taken to ensure that the driftfences are not blocking beach or other foraging areas during the snowy plover breeding season.Ongoing and adaptive management actions are essential to improving western snowy ploverreproductive success at Bolsa Chica, which provides the best nesting option for snowy plovers withina 60-mile radius.ACKNOWLEDGMENTSWe offer special thanks to Wally Ross and Ron Brown who performed the predator managementactions that are so important to snowy plover reproductive success at Bolsa Chica.Merkel & Associates, Inc. 18
