Summer is here, and we’re not the only ones excited to hit the beach. Iconic coastal birds like terns, plovers, and pelicans rely on beaches to rest, feed, and raise their young. Here are some tips to protect birds and hidden nests while you enjoy the coast.

When beaches get too crowded, bird parents have trouble finding food for themselves and their chicks.

This World Oceans Day, learn more about how you can step up to help protect coastal wildlife and the habitat they need.
