A Fling of Sandpipers! Don`t forget to #sharetheshore if you go to the beach this holiday weekend. Tiny birds the size of cotton balls may be nesting/foraging where you lay your blanket or set off fireworks. Look at signage, stay away from conservation areas, and have fun! 🌊
Can’t wait for Snowy Owl season ‘22-‘23.

Whether you love the beach for sunbathing, walking your dog, fishing, kayaking or boating, please remember to share the love with our coastal birds by sharing the shore. This year, a colony of Black Skimmers in Galveston Bay abandoned their nests after repeated disturbance from people getting too close to their nesting site. Help keep our feathered friends safe this summer!

Share the Shore: Watch Marine Mammals Responsibly
Remember, it is a violation of federal law to harass or disturb sea mammals. Share the shore with seals and sea lions by watching them in a safe, responsible way.
Here’s how you can help…

Happy World Shorebirds Day! Today marks a day where we appreciate the beauty and wonder of shorebirds and all the people who help them. Populations of many shorebird species, such as the Wilson’s Plover and Red Knot, have declined significantly in the past 50 years, making it more important than ever to raise awareness, conduct monitoring, and enact conservation measures. We at Audubon South Carolina are dedicated, today and every day, to doing all we can to help shorebirds thrive, from shorebird stewardship and education to monitoring.
Our Coastal staff celebrated World Shorebirds Day this year by doing a fall International Shorebird Survey (ISS), part of a large-scale monitoring effort led by manometconservationsciences that aims to collect valuable shorebird data to aid in conservation. The photos you see here are ones we took during that survey!
One of the best ways you can celebrate this World Shorebirds Day is to Share the Shore by giving flocks of migrating shorebirds space on beaches. This allows them to rest and feed in peace, saving up valuable energy before continuing their migration south for the winter!

Had a great time helping to protect the nesting Least Turns today with audubon_ms. It`s so important that we remember to #sharetheshore with these and other species of animals that call the shore home.
