Join our Coastal Biologist Olivia Morpeth for this course all about snowy plovers, one of our top species of concern we monitor on the Alabama coast. Learn about their preferred breeding habitats as well as the life stages of the chicks, difficulties that they face including human disturbance, predators, and weather events, and what we’re doing on the coast to help protect the species.
