The Prescott College Kino Bay Center for Cultural and Ecological Studies was awarded $15,000 for their project, “Promoting local leadership in collaborative monitoring of priority species for conservation of critical habitat.” This project builds upon previous efforts to contribute to the knowledge, conservation, and management of priority avian species in the Midriff Island Region of the Gulf of California, Sonora, Mexico. The project includes scientific monitoring, active participation and leadership by local communities, and the collaboration of regional researchers and agencies. Specifically, this project focuses on coordinated and collaborative monitoring and conservation of beach-nesting shorebirds (Least Tern, Snowy Plover, American Oystercatcher, Wilson’s Plover), migratory Black Brant, and island-nesting Craveri’s Murrelet, and their habitats.
