Manomet’s American Oystercatcher project is seeking a 30% increase in population of oystercatchers to14,300 by 2018. Manomet serves as the convening organization for the rangewide working group.
Manomet also supports participating organizations with fundraising, coordinates the monitoring that serves as the common success measure for the initiative and conducts research on factors limiting Oystercatcher populations.
The work to recover this charismatic species will also improve conditions for other beach-nesting shorebirds that have also shown sharp declines.
