The Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) is currently accepting public comment on its proposal to renew its lease at Huguenot Memorial Park to the City of Jacksonville. Your voice is neededto help protect one of the last strongholds for beach-dependent birds on Florida’s Atlantic Coast. The site currently supports a large colony of Royal Terns and had animportant historic population of Gull-billed Terns, Black Skimmers, and American Oystercatchers. Declining Red Knots depend on Huguenot's beach during migration, and the park is part of a designated critical wintering habitat unit for federally Threatened Piping Plovers. Make a difference right now by sending a letter in support of these iconic, rare, and declining species!

It's a big challenge, but one that must be met if we are to reduce our declining bird populations. National Audubon now has a strategic plan for addressing our unprecedented environmental challenges. The focus is protecting our migratory flyways of the Americas and for Northeast Florida, in particular, the Atlantic Flyway. We will concentrate our efforts on five conservation strategies: - Putting working lands to work for birds & people
- Sharing our seas and shores
- Saving Important Bird Areas
- Shaping a healthy climate and clean energy future
- Creating bird-friendly communities

Your voice is needed next week to help protect Ft. Matanzas! In January 2010, the park ended public beach driving which threatened the safety of some of our most imperiled species. Now the 2012 draft management plan leaves the door open to reinstate beach driving putting these bird species at risk again.
Public hearings will be held on July 23 and 24th 6-8:30pm at Lohman Auditorium, Whitney Lab for Marine Bioscience, 9505 Ocean Shore Blvd, St. Augustine, FL (Marineland). Please attend! Click here for information on how to help birds at Ft. Matanzas, then contact Monique Borboen at
