Bird-islands -- A listserv designed for communication and exchange related to the Colony Island Network Design and Implementation (CINDI) project.
About Bird-islands	English (USA)
The Texas coast supports 120,000 pairs of waterbirds annually, relying on a network of colony islands stretching from Galveston to the Rio Grande. Each year, millions of dollars are invested in creating, managing, and restoring these islands. However, without strategic guidance on which islands provide the greatest benefit to birds, conservation efforts may not be as effective as possible. The Colony Island Network Design and Implementation (CINDI) project, a five-year initiative led by the Harte Research Institute (HRI) and funded by the NOAA RESTORE Science Program, aims to enhance conservation efforts by co-producing a prioritization tool for colony island restoration and management. This tool will help optimize resource allocation, maximize cost-effectiveness, and support the recovery of waterbirds. CINDI is a collaborative effort between researchers at HRI and natural resource managers from state, federal, and nonprofit organizations. To ensure our approach reflects the broader conservation needs of colony islands, we seek to engage diverse groups.
