The Prince Edward Island National Park has been conducting studies on this 
     
     species for the past 10 years in the Park. During 1987 the Park reported 21 
     
     pairs of Piping Plovers, which was 36% of all Piping Plovers nesting Canadian 
     
     National Parks and 1% of the worlds population. 
     
    

    
     The high nesting success of the Piping Plover in the National Park is 
     
     considered a direct result of having implemented a breeding beach protection 
     
     program. The following two graphs show the variation in nests over the past 10 
     
     years for the whole Park and for specfic beaches. The data was extracted from 
     
     The 1987 National Park Report by Amanda Crow.
