Description:Early efforts at planned management of colonial waterbirds were aimed primarily at stopping the killing of birds for their feathers, and most often involved the passing of protective laws. Most efforts since have involved protection of birds and nesting sites. This report presents a management plan for the coastal zone of North Carolina. It builds on protective laws and refuges and recommends an active management plan, under the leadership of the nongame species program of the North Carolina Wildlife Resources Commission, involving state, federal and private agencies with conservation and management interests and responsibilities. It is a unique approach, but workable here given the leadership of the commission, a good body of information about the resource, and the already proven cooperative spirit among conservation and management agencies operating in this state. Included in the text are nesting sites by type, size, topography, vegetation, surroundings, history of use by colonial waterbirds and site potential. Accompanying maps help pinpoint the sites listed.
