Piping plovers (Charadrius melodus) face many threats, substantially reducing their populations. Conservation strategies have included predator control and symbolic fencing, and complex records of plovers’ reproductive success have been kept for many beaches. In creating an interactive visual database with data from Massachusetts, the data becomes more comprehensible and conclusions can be drawn on the implications of conservation techniques. This information can be used to influence decisions about future conservation efforts at other breeding locations.
