Shorebirds like the Wilson's Plover use beaches to nest and raise their chicks.
 
Over the last 50+ years, seabird and shorebird populations have plummeted by a shocking 70%. But we have the power to turn the tide if we all work together to share the shore and give birds the space they need to nest, rest, and feed.

For coastal birds, our beaches aren't a vacation spot, they're home. During beach season, even small disturbances can flush nesting parents away, leaving vulnerable eggs and chicks exposed to scorching heat and predators.

By committing to simple, bird-friendly beach habits—like giving nesting areas a wide berth and keeping dogs leashed—we can co-exist with the birds we love. And by spreading the word, we can encourage our friends and families to do the same. 

Take the pledge today and get 10% off Share the Shore merchandise with code SHORE10 at checkout. Hurry, supplies are limited!
