And it starts NOW
In 1977, after the California least tern was listed as an endangered species, the “California Least Tern Recovery Team” as they decided to call themselves, came up with a recovery plan to try to reverse the critical situation that this unprotected species, at the time, was (and still is) going through. To try to re-stabilize the bird’s population, they settled some goals and proposed some actions (California Least "Tern Recovery Team, 1980).
Some actions suggested by the Least Tern Recovery Team are:
-
Habitat preservation
-
California Department of Fish and Game with assistance from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service be responsible to implement least tern management plans.
-
Construction and restoration of new nesting sites.
