You make a good point beachwalker. I don't think anyone truly knows how many plovers there are. My neighor across the street is a commercial fisherman out of Chatham. He said there are thousands of them on the little uncharted islands out there, he always says, "Who counts them?". Doesn't old Charles Darwin's theory, the "survival of the fittest" count towards anything, or is common sense not part of the Endangered Species program. Well I should say Threatened Species, as the plover is now officially not Endangered, anymore.
Another interesting note, closures are not mandatory, that is left to the discretion of the beach managers, under the rules for Threatened Species.
If a plover craps on my truck, is that Endangered Feces?
Godd luck with them cats
