About the project
Cradle Coast NRM is working to create a stronghold for the Hooded Plover (Thinornis rubricollis), a priority threatened species, on Three Hummock Island by reducing feral cat predation, a significant threat to Hooded Plovers.
This project continues previous work partnering with Biosecurity Tasmania to protect coastal species including the Hooded Plover, Little Penguin and Short-tailed Shearwater, through the implementation of strategic feral cat control.
