   "abstract": "This regional protocol provides a framework for quantifying the number of breeding pairs and\u00a0productivity of Atlantic Coast piping plover (Charadrius melodus) populations during the\u00a0breeding season. A primary purpose of this protocol is to standardize piping plover monitoring\u00a0during the breeding season. The survey techniques described herein involve repeated visual\u00a0counts of adults, nests, eggs, and chicks within a defined survey site (i.e., beach) as well as visual\u00a0identification of potential threats to survival and productivity. Resulting data can be compiled\u00a0and analyzed across multiple geographic units (i.e., sites, states, and recovery units) to assess\u00a0progress toward recovery goals, inform local management decisions, assess management\u00a0effectiveness, and improve monitoring efforts.\u00a0This protocol framework was developed as part of the United States Fish and Wildlife Service\u00a0(USFWS) National Wildlife Refuge System (NWRS) Inventory and Monitoring (I&M) Initiative\u00a0in coordination with Ecological Services (ES) and state coordinators within the Southeast and\u00a0Northeast Regions (4 and 5, respectively). Although this protocol framework is to be used\u00a0primarily by NWRS to inform recovery goals, assist with local management decision-making,\u00a0and meet State reporting requirements, the approach strives to assist monitoring efforts of nonNWRS partners, such as other federal agencies (e.g. National Park Service), State wildlife\u00a0agencies, non-governmental organizations, and private landowners. This protocol framework and\u00a0associated data management system (PIPLweb) aims to interface with existing data management\u00a0and analysis tools (i.e., PIPLODES, NestStory, and PiperEx) to ensure that data collection isefficient and comparable across scales, and supports management decisions across partners.\u00a0The content and structure of the protocol framework follows standards set forth in the USFWS\u2019s\u00a0How to Develop Survey Protocols: A Handbook (Version 1.0; 2013). The eight elements\u00a0addressed include: introduction, sampling design, field methods, data management and analysis,\u00a0reporting, personnel requirements and training, operational requirements, and references. A\u00a0series of standard operating procedures (SOPs) provides greater detail on recommended methods\u00a0and technical aspects of this protocol. Data entry, archival, and multi-scale analysis are handled\u00a0through a secure web application (Plover Inventory and Productivity Library; PIPLweb)\u00a0developed by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). When management activities and\u00a0survey objectives are similar across management units, partners (Refuges, other federal agencies,\u00a0State, NGOs, private) are encouraged to use this protocol framework to develop stepped-downsite-specific survey protocols that include guidance for conducting on-the-ground monitoring and\u00a0management plans.
