A practical path forward requires coordinated action at multiple levels. First, designate and enforce protected coastal zones that safeguard key breeding and feeding habitats, especially during nesting season. Second, implement low-impact visitor guidelines—boardwalks, restricted driving, and seasonal access limits—to reduce disturbance. Third, restore degraded habitats by replanting native dune vegetation and cleaning polluted runoff channels. Fourth, engage local communities through education, citizen science monitoring, and incentives for conservation-friendly livelihoods like guided wildlife tours. Finally, integrate climate adaptation measures—such as managed retreat and habitat migration corridors—into long-term planning.
