R.I. Oystercatchers Recovering

The bird populations have increased by 45% since 2008, reflecting conservation efforts focused on habitat protection and predator control. Despite their recovery, threats from climate change and habitat loss due to sea level rise remain significant challenges to the species' future survival.
