Title
Northeastern Beach Tiger Beetle Focus Area [United States]
Description
This federally listed threatened species range encompasses the coast of the northeastern U.S., with the majority of the species extant range occurring along the beaches of the Chesapeake Bay in Virginia. Our goal is to develop and implement a multi-faceted, multi-partner, long-term recovery strategy for the species. We will work with project proponents to define future project areas and proactively target areas of current or potential tiger beetle habitat for restoration or habitat improvement. We will foster improved shoreline management efforts on a scale to benefit property residents and the tiger beetle and its habitat. We will focus our work based on project requests and areas that provide an opportunity for proactive improvement or restoration of connectivity between populations. The boundaries are based on surveys, observations, and preliminary modeling; delineated areas are a 75-meter buffer surrounding shoreline areas known to have habitat that supports or may support the beetle. The boundaries also include adjacent shorelines where most shoreline stabilization projects, if undertaken, may result in a negative impact to the adjacent areas used by the beetle.
