The PFSS is a coordinated, multi-partner monitoring program led by Point Blue Conservation Science designed to guide the management and conservation of wintering shorebirds in the Pacific Flyway. Many shorebird species are thought to be declining in North America; however, we still have a lot to learn about species population trends, such as which species are at greatest risk, and which habitats they most depend upon. To answer these questions the PFSS coordinates both ongoing (e.g. at specific sites such as refuges or coastal estuaries) and newly established monitoring efforts in the Pacific Flyway.
