FSA News
Like all Floridians, our lives and work have been impacted by the global pandemic. As partners in shorebird conservation, many of our routine breeding season activities have been disrupted. Although bird monitoring, stewarding and management have been impacted in a variety of ways, many of us are finding ways to continue work with additional safety protocols in place.

The Florida Shorebird Alliance (FSA) is a statewide network of local partnerships committed to advancing shorebird and seabird conservation in Florida. FSA partners collaborate to identify and address important needs regarding research, management, education, outreach, and public policy. The FSA accommodates a wide range of views on the best strategies to conserve shorebirds and seabirds. However, all partners share the same goal of establishing areas where seabird and shorebird populations are viable and managed in balance with human activities.
