The main beach areas monitored show population fluctations over the 10 
     
     year period (Figure 2). However, numbers of Piping Plovers overall were up or 
     
     steady by 1987. The public has appeared to be supportive of these restrictive 
     
     measures and allowed the plover to nest relativly undisturbed by people. 
     
    

    
     The population of Piping Plover in the Crowbush - Lakeside area (Figure 
     
     3) especially the Crowbush colonv represents 25% of the Islands Piping Plover 
     
     population. {tandowners in the area could provide greater protection to the 
     
     plover during breeding seasonby following the management recommendations 
     
     outlined on the Piping Plover poster and Ebhiribute significantly to the 
     
     survival of the Piping Plover on Prince Edward Island.

     UPDATE 
     
    
   
   
    
     Congratulations to the Island Nature Trust on its recent award from 
     
     the Canadian Council on Ecological Areas. The Nature Trust was awarded 
     
     the recognition based on their protection and management of natural 
     
     areas on Prince Edward Island. 
     
    

    
     The Council gave the award to honor the Nature Trust's work in 
     
     increasing public awareness and understanding of ecological areas, pre- 
     
     serving and protecting such areas, and successfully lobbying government 
     
     to assist in the protection of ecological areas. 
     
    

    
     The Canadian Council on Ecological Areas was established in 1982 
     
     to encourage the establishment of a nation-wide system of protected eco- 
     
     logical areas. They held their annual meeting at UPEI in Charlottetown.
