SPECIES AT RISK ACT
Description of critical habitat of the Piping Plover (melodus subspecies) in Cape Jourimain National Wildlife Area, Portage Island National Wildlife Area, Kouchibouguac National Park of Canada, Kejimkujik National Park of Canada, Gros Morne National Park of Canada and Prince Edward Island National Park of Canada
The Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus melodus) is a migratory bird protected under the Migratory Birds Convention Act, 1994 and listed under Schedule 1 of the Species at Risk Act as endangered. Within Canada, the Piping Plover (melodus subspecies) breeds in Newfoundland and Labrador (N.L.), Quebec (Que.), Nova Scotia (N.S.), Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.), and New Brunswick (N.B.). The Piping Plover (melodus subspecies) is a small, stocky shorebird with a total body length of 17–18 cm that is identifiable by its white belly, black band above its white forehead; black band across its breast, light grey to pale brown plumage on its back that resembles the color of dry sand, and a short bill that is orange with a black tip. Piping Plover (melodus subspecies) nest in early successional habitat characterized by a lack of dense vegetation on wide sand, gravel, or cobble beaches; barrier island sandspits; or peninsulas in marine coastal areas. The species typically arrives in eastern Canada beginning as early as the end of March, where they remain until fall migration in early September.
The Recovery Strategy for the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus melodus) in Canada (www.sararegistry.gc.ca/document/default_e.cfm?documentID=923) identifies critical habitat for the species in a number of areas, including a number of federal protected areas.
Notice is hereby given that, pursuant to subsection 58(2) of the Species at Risk Act, critical habitat of the Piping Plover (melodus subspecies) in Cape Jourimain National Wildlife Area, N.B.; Portage Island National Wildlife Area, N.B.; Kouchibouguac National Park of Canada, N.B.; Kejimkujik National Park of Canada, N.S.; Gros Morne National Park of Canada, N.L. and Prince Edward Island National Park of Canada, P.E.I. is described as follows:
Any site with suitable habitat that has been occupied by at least one nesting pair of Piping Plovers (melodus subspecies) in at least one year since 1991 and that is listed in Appendix C of The Recovery Strategy for the Piping Plover (Charadrius melodus melodus) in Canada.
Suitable habitat is early successional habitat characterized by a lack of dense vegetation on wide sand, gravel, or cobble beaches; barrier island sandspits; or peninsulas in marine coastal areas. Within these areas, suitable habitat is the area of the coastal zone extending from the low water mark and intertidal zone, up to the crest or peak of the vegetated dune (typically identified by the presence of marram/beach grass or other dune vegetation), and roughly approximated by the following habitat attributes: gently sloping foredunes; beach widths that afford protection from flooding at normal high tides; substrates of sand, gravel or cobble, or some combination of these; and foredunes that are either sparsely vegetated or relatively free of vegetation.
On barrier beaches or islands, critical habitat is comprised of the entire intertidal zone from the low water mark, sand flats, upper beach, dune, and associated habitats. On mainland beaches, critical habitat includes the entire area of suitable habitat including the intertidal zone from the low water mark, sand or mud flats and upper beach that normally include dune vegetation up to the crest or peak of the vegetated dune. Breaches that cross from the ocean to bays, low back shores, landward extensions of washovers, washover fans, sand fans, runs from ponds, and pond outlets are considered extensions of the beach habitat and therefore are critical habitat. When a distinct dune crest does not exist (i.e. where a dune is not present), the landward boundary of critical habitat extends to the line of permanent non-beach vegetation (e.g. marsh or bog vegetation, shrubs, trees, farmland) or another permanent physical structure (e.g. road, bridge, culvert, river).
Cape Jourimain National Wildlife Area, N.B.
Those beaches located within the Cape Jourimain National Wildlife Area, west of Highway 16, meet the description of critical habitat. The Cape Jourimain National Wildlife Area is described in Schedule 1 of the Wildlife Area Regulations made pursuant to the Canada Wildlife Act and repeated herein as all those parcels of land in the County of Westmorland, in the Parish of Botsford, described as follows:
