Shorebird populations are highly responsive to threats like sea-level rise, changes in freshwater inflow, shoreline alteration and loss, human disturbances, and contaminants. In particular, the American oystercatcher “has been proposed as a ‘sentinel’ bio-indicator of ecosystem integrity because of the depth of life history information available, its specialized dependence on oysters and associated marine invertebrates, and known reproductive responses to a variety of natural and anthropogenic pressures” (Ogden et al. 2014). As a result of these pressures, North American shorebird populations are experiencing “consistent, steep population loss” (Ronenberg et al. 2019). The species included in this index are already monitored by state and Federal agencies and collectively represent a variety of coastal ecosystem features (e.g., nesting habitat availability and quality, fish and marine invertebrate populations).</p><p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:12pt 0in 4pt; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:large;'><span style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; line-height:1.5;'><strong>Input Data</strong></span></span></p><ul><li><a style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(0, 97, 155); font-family:inherit; line-height:1.5; text-decoration:none;' target='_blank' href='https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/61002b01d34ef8d7055c7db2' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>South Atlantic Blueprint 2021 extent</a></li><li><a style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(0, 97, 155); font-family:inherit; line-height:1.5; text-decoration:none;' target='_blank' href='https://secas-fws.hub.arcgis.com/maps/8bde4161a8af4ab9ad8341ef79d9d307/about' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Base Blueprint 2022 extent</a></li><li><a style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(0, 97, 155); font-family:inherit; line-height:1.5; text-decoration:none;' target='_blank' href='https://secas-fws.hub.arcgis.com/maps/0b3e3940763a4e3aae7647b0fe4c31e4/about' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>Southeast Blueprint 2023 extent</a></li><li><a style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(0, 97, 155); font-family:inherit; line-height:1.5; text-decoration:none;' target='_blank' href='https://www.sciencebase.gov/catalog/item/5f21cef582cef313ed940043' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>2019 National Land Cover Database</a> (NLCD): Land cover</li><li><a style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(0, 97, 155); font-family:inherit; line-height:1.5; text-decoration:none;' target='_blank' href='https://www.census.gov/geographies/mapping-files/time-series/geo/tiger-line-file.html' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>2023 U.S. Census TIGER/Line state boundaries</a>, accessed 5-15-2023; <a style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(0, 97, 155); font-family:inherit; line-height:1.5; text-decoration:none;' target='_blank' href='https://www2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TIGER_RD18/LAYER/STATE/' rel='nofollow ugc noopener noreferrer'>download the data</a></li><li>The following beach bird datasets:</li></ul><p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:0in 0in 0in 0.5in; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'><i>Wilson’s plover and American oystercatcher</i><br /> </p><p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:0in 0in 0in 0.5in; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'>Betsy Von Holle (University of Central Florida) led a project that included state waterbird biologists in the South Atlantic: Tim Keyes, Felicia Sanders, Sara Schweitzer, and Janell Brush.

All least tern locations were buffered by 1 km. Although least tern do not actively forage on the beach itself, the buffer characterizes habitat selected by least tern (i.e., beach width, predator abundance, etc.) and accounts for interannual variability in nesting locations. Among years, data showed least tern often shifted the location of nests in the general vicinity of previous years.</p><p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:0in 0in 0in 0.5in; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'><br /> </p><p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:0in 0in 0in 0.5in; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'><i>Piping plover (winter distribution)</i><br /> </p><p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:0in 0in 0in 0.5in; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'>The 2011 winter population census of piping plover was provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, as the international census is repeated every five years. Locations were buffered with a 2 km radius. Although home range estimates exist for piping plover (Cohen et al. 2008, Drake et al. 2001), these measures depict primarily linear habitats. We used a 2 km buffer, as this is similar to the mean linear distance of 4.2 km that piping plover moved during winter in Texas (Drake et al. 2001). The resulting buffer was also substantiated by maps in Cohen et al. (2008).</p><p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:12pt 0in 4pt; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:large;'><span style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; line-height:1.5;'><strong>Mapping Steps</strong></span></span></p><ul><li>Von Holle et al. used a categorical habitat suitability ranking based on six quantiles of nest density, or breeding pair density, for each species on the Atlantic Coast. Convert to numeric scores by assigning a value of 0 to polygons rated as “none”, a value of 1 to those rated as “low”, a value of 2 to those rated as “moderate”, a value of 3 to those rated as “moderately high”, a value of 4 to those rated as “high”, a value of 5 to those rated as “very high”, and a value of 6 to those rated “extremely high”. Convert the polygons to a separate raster for each species (Wilson’s plover and American oystercatcher), assigning those numeric values.</li><li>Resample and reproject the least tern and piping plover source data from 90 m pixels to 30 m pixels so it can be used in Zonation in a later step.</li><li>Create a mask to define the extent of the Zonation run that will be used to create this indicator. Use cell statistics to combine all 4 bird rasters (the two Von Holle rasters created in the previous step, and the 90 m piping plover and least tern rasters) with the output statistic maximum value. Include in the mask all pixels with a value >0 on any of the bird rasters.</li><li>To create the beach bird index, use the software program Zonation v4 with the core-area algorithm and without the edge removal option (removal rule = 1, edge removal = 0, warp = 1). Input the mask and the rasters for all four species. Zonation produces a continuous ranking of all pixels within the mask based on their importance for the 4 beach-nesting bird species.</li><li>Reclassify the output Zonation rank raster into 5 classes, seen in the final indicator values below. This layer represents the relative use of habitat for beach nesting birds in the South Atlantic. Generally, areas with higher values in this layer are considered to have greater relative abundance of beach nesting birds than areas with lower values.</li><li>To create an analysis extent for the indicator, buffer the polygons provided by Von Holle by 25 km. Assign a value of 0 to all pixels within the analysis extent that do not already receive a score elsewhere in the indicator. Zero values are intended to help users better understand the extent of this indicator and make it perform better in online tools.</li><li>Clip to the South Atlantic Blueprint 2021 extent.</li><li>Further limit the extent of the zero class by removing pixels from Virginia, because the source data did not cover Virginia. Also, remove deep marine areas that are not covered by a value of 0 or greater in the 2019 NLCD, where this terrestrial indicator does not apply.</li><li>Clip to the spatial extent of Base Blueprint 2022.</li><li>As a final step, clip to the spatial extent of Southeast Blueprint 2023.</li></ul><p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);

Therefore, this data does not imply absence of species.</li><li>Red knot is not included due to lack of data.</li><li>This indicator may underestimate beach bird use of dune areas inland of beach segments because of inconsistencies in the extent of the various bird models.</li><li>The spatial resolution of the source data for least tern and piping plover has been degraded. While the indicator has a 30 m resolution, it was not created directly from the spatially precise input data for those two birds. Here, we resampled the 90 m resolution data used in the previous version of the indicator back down to 30 m resolution so that we could use it in Zonation.</li><li>The indicator has an extraneous “tail” of zero values at its southern edge. This is an artifact of how the buffer of zero values was created. Since zero values do not influence Zonation, this does not affect the final Blueprint priorities. It was discovered too late to fix in this update cycle. We hope to make a larger improvement to this indicator in the future to better depict important areas for beach birds across more of the region’s coastline.</li></ul><p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:12pt 0in 4pt; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'><span style='font-family:inherit; font-size:large;'><span style='border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; line-height:1.5;'><strong>Disclaimer: Comparing with Older Indicator Versions</strong></span></span></p><p style='background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255); border:0px solid currentcolor; box-sizing:border-box; color:rgb(74, 74, 74); font-family:"Avenir Next", Avenir, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif; font-size:16px; font-style:normal; font-variant-caps:normal; font-variant-ligatures:normal; font-weight:400; letter-spacing:normal; margin:0in; text-align:start; text-decoration-color:initial; text-decoration-style:initial; text-indent:0px; text-transform:none; word-spacing:0px;'>There are numerous problems with using Southeast Blueprint indicators for change analysis.
