The snowy plover symbolizes

the spirit of exploration along

the Gulf Coast. This resilient shorebird makes its home on our beaches and dunes, thriving in the very habitats we study and protect.

It reminds us of the importance

of conservation and our role in preserving Alabama’s coastal ecosystems for future generations.
