Title
Rangewide SNPL Window Survey Form 2.0 [U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service]
Description
This is a feature layer created from the Survey123 form to collect a baseline of data for the Western Snowy Plover during annual window surveys. This data is designed for use across the entire west coast portion of the species range, in collaboration with partners and cooperators. The form was created based on an initial version that was field tested in Recovery Unit 2. This form will similarly be tested across the range for it's field usability and data format creation. The intent is to continue to take feedback and improve the form for use across all recovery units.Western Snowy Plover(Charadrius nivosus nivosus; plover) Census and Monitoring Surveys - United States Fish and Wildlife Service (Service). This project focuses on electronic data collection (using Survey123) for Western Snowy Plover annual monitoring surveys in all Recovery Units (1-6) which covers coastal California, Oregon and Washington.The plover was listed as a federally threatened species under the Endangered Species Act in 1993. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Western Snowy Plover Pacific Coast Population Recovery Plan was published in 2007. The 2007 Recovery Plan provides reasonable actions believed to be required to recover and/or protect plovers. The first action needed from the Recovery Plan is to monitor breeding and wintering populations and habitats of the Pacific coast population of the western snowy plover to determine progress of recovery actions to maximize survival and productivity. The census and monitoring surveys are critical data for determining if the recovery criteria have been met. Recovery criteria for delisting the plover includes: 1) An average of 3,000 breeding adults has been maintained for 10 years and 2) A yearly average productivity of at least one (1.0) fledged chick per male has been maintained in each recovery unit in the last 5 years prior to delisting.The survey effort is a collaboration between multiple FWS Field Offices, contracted partners, and official volunteers.For more information:Here is a direct link to theData Management Planfor this project, theServCat referencepage, theSurvey123link, and a link to the relevant program page forArcata Fish & Wildlife Office.
