Update of the 1992 Management Plan for the Threatened Piping Plover on Sandy Hook, Gateway National Recreation Area

The National Park Service proposes to update Sandy Hook's 1992 Management Plan for the Threatened Piping Plover. In order to more effectively fullfill its mission, Sandy Hook Unit of Gateway National Recreation Area (hereafter referred to as the Park) needs to address all of the shoreside species that currently occur at Sandy Hook that are listed either by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) or by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) as threatened or endangered. Also proposed is to incorporate and better integrate existing requirements of the Endangered Species Act to address the declining piping plover population and pursue a more comprehensive and adaptive approach to shoreside species management.
