When they are no longer deemed protected. There is no "magic number". They are migratory birds and do not always come back to the same area. Therefore the numbers in each area do change but the overall numbers stay the same.
For some reason people think that these birds will just fix themselves, others hope for extinction. Striped Bass are a living creature as these birds are. Most conscientious fisherman will make a big stink to save the bass but wouldn't care if these birds disappeared.
I, as a surf fisherman, fish for more than just the catch. I fish for the experience. The oytercatchers, the terns, the plovers, shooting stars, the moon, jellyfish, etc.. are all part of this experience. I do not want any of these to disappear as my experience would not be what it is without them.
