Report Details
Unleashed dog chasing feeding shorebirds, and insufficient campaign to educate beach-goers to prevent this.
Conditions
Temperature: 50 F. Cloud Cover: Rain. Wind Velocity: Moderate. Wind Direction: W.
Actions & Comments
Witnessed a couple walking their dog, who was off leash, just south of the jetty. The dog made several charges at gulls and what I think were sanderlings, who were feeding on the shoreline. The couple made no attempt to stop the dog from disrupting the birds. I am not aware of any signs at South Beach that encourage dog owners to keep their dogs on a leash and/or to not disrupt birds. Promoting this seems especially crucial at a location where snowy plovers inhabit.
