1 Dredging, Beach Nourishment and US Army Corps Bird Conservation Workshop Atlantic Coast Region Beach Nourishment and Bird Habitat Restoration in Southern New Jersey
2 Shore Protection and Ecosystem Restoration Projects US Army Corps KEY Constructed Project (Date Initiated) Authorized, Not Constructed Not Yet Authorized Manasquan Inlet to Barnegat Inlet Barnegat Inlet to Little Egg Inlet (LBI) Great Egg Harbor Inlet to Townsends Inlet Brigantine Inlet to Gt. Egg Inlet Brigantine Is. (2005) Brigantine Inlet to Great Egg Inlet Absecon Is.

3 Beach Nourishment and Coastal Ecosystem Restoration Projects with Active Piping Plover Nesting Habitat - Manasquan Inlet to Barnegat Inlet **Projects with - Barnegat Inlet to Little Egg Inlet active plover - Brigantine Inlet to Great Egg Harbor Inlet nesting areas - Brigantine Island - Absecon Island - Great Egg Harbor and Peck Beach (Ocean City) ** - Great Egg Harbor to Townsends Inlet ** - Townsends Inlet to Hereford Inlet ** - Stone Harbor Point Ecosystem Restoration ** - Hereford Inlet to Cape May Inlet - Cape May Inlet to Lower Township (Cape May City) ** - Lower Cape May Meadows to Cape May Point (Ecosystem Restoration) **

5 Issues Affecting Plover Recovery Efforts in New Jersey - Flooding was leading cause of nest failure in Heavy predation and nest abandonment - Recreation/beach management impacts - 18% reduction in number of birds in Average state-wide fledge rate 0.77 (2005)
6 Plover Nesting Success at Constructed Beach Nourishment/Restoration Projects Ocean City - Initial construction (6.2 million cubic yards of sand) - Re-nourishment in , 1997, 2000, and Average fledge rate from (northern nesting area) (center nesting area) fledge rate (northern nesting area) (center nesting area)
7 Plover Nesting Success at Constructed Beach Nourishment/Restoration Projects Cape May City - Initial construction (1.3 million cubic yards of sand) - Re-nourishment in 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, and Average fledge rate from (Coast Guard nesting area) (City nesting area) fledge rate (Coast Guard nesting area)
8 Plover Nesting Success at Constructed Beach Nourishment/Restoration Projects Lower Cape May Meadows - Initial construction (1.3 million cubic yards of sand) -Average fledge rate from (TNC and State Park combined) fledge rate (TNC and State Park combined)
9 Lower Cape May Meadows Ecosystem Restoration Study Area 343 acre coastal freshwater wetlands and beach habitat 153 acres - Cape May Point State Park 190 acres - Cape May Migratory Bird Refuge (owned by The Nature Conservancy) Internationally recognized migratory bird habitat, included in Coastal America Program Number of pairs of nesting plovers dropped from 12 pairs (in 1995) to 2 pairs (in 2002)
10 Lower Cape May Meadows, looking toward Cape May City, October 1996.
11
12 Lower Cape May Meadows Ecosystem Restoration Problem Identification Ecosystem Degradation at Meadows 1,110 feet of shoreline eroded since acres lost since additional acres lost by year 2050 if no action degradation of remaining habitat through saltwater intrusion Storm Damage Vulnerability to Cape May Point and West Cape May
13 Cape May Meadows Shoreline Change
14 October 1991 Coastal Storm
15 Lower Cape May Meadows Ecosystem Restoration Selected Plan - Beachfill and periodic nourishment - Invasive plant control - Internal hydrology improvements - Restoration of lost wetlands
16 1994 ower Cape ay Meadows ape May Point
17 Lower Cape May Meadows Ecosystem Restoration Piping Plover Design Features Plover crossovers Lower berm elevation Plover ponds Modification of dune fencing/planting
18 Plover Crossovers - 3 crossovers feet wide -1 on 10 side slope
19 Pond/Wetland Restoration 3/7/05 - Old dune relocated seaward - Ponds excavated - Minimal vegetation planted around 1 pond
20 Plover Ponds April 2005 Pond acres Pond acres September 2005
21 Success of Plover Design Features at Lower Cape May Meadows -ALLbroods used new plover ponds for feeding (some exclusively) - Plover crossovers and unvegetated dunes used by adults and chicks - Some nesting took place on new unvegetated dune - 8 chicks fledged from 5 pairs
22 What Else is the Philadelphia US Army Corps District Doing for Plovers? -Coordinating additional modifications to dune grass planting and sand fence placement at Cape May Meadows. - Coordinating design of ecosystem restoration project at Stone Harbor Point to benefit plovers and other beach nesting birds. - Working with USFWS and NJDEP to implement beach nesting management plans at the local level. - Finalizing programmatic Section 7 consultation with USFS. - Working with USFWS, NJDEP, and USDA to develop dune standards (for engineering and management) more compatible with plover nesting.
23 Take Away Points.. Corps projects can provide good quality habitat for piping plovers Plovers can successfully nest on nourished beaches Corps projects not population sinks for piping plovers Plover restoration features can be effective additions to some coastal projects
