Downloadable Beach Signs
These signs, created by Morro Coast Audubon Society, were painted by children who, after learning about snowy plovers, used their art and creative talents to encourage the public to Share the Shore and do their part to help protect plovers. Signs are strung along “symbolic fencing” with regulatory signs in habitat areas to educate the public about nesting birds. Click on the links to download them for use in your community, or follow these instructions to create and print your own signs:
