ANERR/ FWC/ Florida Audubon

Last week the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve stewardship team worked in partnership with Florida Audubon, FWC shorebird biologists, and FWC botanists to tackle invasives plants on the St. George. Island Causeway in preparation for shorebird nesting season. This ongoing project aims to treat vegetation encroaching on shorebird nesting habitat on the Critical Wildlife Area island in the Apalachicola Bay. This is the third year the three agencies have come together to treat the test plots and all three agencies are hoping to see success from the shorebird species that utilize the island this season!
