AI Contract Overview

The project at Año Nuevo Island within Año Nuevo State Park aims to safeguard burrow and ground-nesting seabird habitats by implementing two integrated conservation measures designed to mitigate disturbances caused by California Sea Lions. The first component involves the construction of a redwood fence along the existing footprint of a previously installed structure, protecting roughly one acre—20% of the island’s critical seabird nesting area. This fence will replicate the design of the current system to ensure minimal visual and ecological disruption, with no significant excavation required, preserving the natural terrain and reducing environmental impact. The second component focuses on enhancing nesting resilience through the installation of 75 new ceramic nest modules above ground in locations selected based on erosion risk assessments. These modules are custom-built for the site using non-toxic, durable materials engineered for longevity, with an expected service life exceeding 50 years and minimal maintenance needs. In addition, 45 existing ceramic nests will be retrofitted with newly designed sunshields, enabling them to be elevated above ground and protected from future erosion, thereby extending their usability and effectiveness. Together, these efforts create a climate-resilient habitat strategy that supports seabird populations by proactively addressing habitat degradation while maintaining ecological integrity.

Full Description

Project consists of maintaining and expanding nesting habitats through two (2) integrated activities at Año Nuevo Island at Año Nuevo State Park in order to protect burrow and ground-nesting seabirds from habitat disturbance caused by California Sea Lions. Work will consist of the following: Seabird Conservation Fence-Habitat Ridge Construction: Construct a redwood fence in the same footprint to continue protecting fragile nesting areas, which comprise approximately one acre (20% of ANI's seabird habitat). The design will be similar to an existing fence and will maintain a low visual and ecological impact. No significant excavation will be required. Ceramic Nest Modules Installation: Install 75 durable ceramic nest modules above-ground in strategic locations informed by erosion risk. The modules are customized for ANI, manufactured from non-toxic materials, and designed for minimal maintenance, with an expected service life of 50+ years. Additionally, 45 of the existing ceramic nests will be retrofitted with the new sunshields so they can be placed above-ground and avoid future erosion concerns.
