These tiny shorebirds keep watchful island residents and visitors on their toes. Declared an endangered species in
1986, the Piping Plovers are competing for nesting space and resources during prime beach season on the east coast.
Discover how the plover's nesting grounds are being protected and how a delicate balance between
conservation and recreation on Assateague Island is being achieved.
