Coastal management decisions, such as shoreline stabilization and beach nourishment, will strongly influence the effects of sea-level rise on the piping plover, a beach-nesting bird protected under the Endangered Species Act. Learn how federal and state agencies, non-governmental organizations, and academic institutions are collaborating to develop an understanding of how the coastal environment may change in the coming century and how plovers may respond to increases or decreases in habitat.<br> <span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Please call 508.349.2615 to reserve your space.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Visit <a href="http://www.massaudubon.org/wellfleetbay">www.massaudubon.org/wellfleetbay</a> for more information. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal align=center style='text-align:center;text-autospace:none'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Our January/ February 2011 program brochure can be found here: <a href="http://www.massaudubon.org/PDF/newsletters/Wellfleet_Bay_201.pdf">http://www.massaudubon.org/PDF/newsletters/Wellfleet_Bay_201.pdf</a><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Please don’t hesitate to contact us with questions.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>All the best,<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt;color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Amy Fleischer, Education Director/ Public Programs Coordinator <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Mass Audubon's Wellfleet Bay Wildlife Sanctuary<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>PO Box 236, South Wellfleet, MA 02663<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>afleischer@massaudubon.org<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>508-349-2615, ext 114 <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Office Schedule: Tuesday - Saturday, 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto'><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Protecting the Nature of Massachusetts <br>www.massaudubon.org/wellfleetbay <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:12.0pt'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div></body></html>
