Critical Habitats

Ongoing restoration efforts by the Mordecai Land Trust have helped to stabilize the fragile eroding shoreline as well as to create new habitats. The island’s critical habitats attract a diverse group of resident (breeding/non-breeding) and migrating species, including many endangered and at-risk species.  A comprehensive weekly monitoring of the island’s critical habitats and their avian and non-avian sightings is conducted yearly from March 29th through September 1st.
