Description

In this report, we summarize results from the Program’s management and monitoring efforts for plovers and terns during 2025 on the central Platte River and at OCSW nesting sites adjacent to the river.  We also detail findings from our predator management, monitoring, and research efforts at six OCSW sites during 2025.  The monitoring conducted during 2025 was a collaborative effort between Program EDO staff and the Nebraska Public Power District (NPPD).  Overall, long-term plover and tern monitoring data and research on predator impacts on plovers are being used to evaluate progress toward management objectives and to support adaptive management decision-making related to plovers and terns.
