Actions

The population of breeding Hooded Plovers (𝘛𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘰𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘴 𝘤𝘶𝘤𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘶𝘴) on Phillip Island has increased threefold in the last 30 years, making it one of the few increasing populations over the time period.

Conservation actions have included regular population counts, identification of threats, eradication of foxes from the island, strategic removal of cats near breeding territories, public education programs by Phillip Island Nature Parks staff and volunteers to reduce disturbance, and enforcement of dog regulations on beaches used by Hooded Plovers.
