Break O’Day’s advice will once again restrict dog access to a number of area beaches.

The annual surge is intended to protect shorebirds that return to coastal areas to nest.

Tasmania is home to 50 percent of the world’s population of hooded plovers and oystercatchers.

Break O’Day Mayor Mick Tucker said there were many passionate bird advocates in the area and previously dogs were a threat to these vulnerable species during their nesting season from October to March – their protection was therefore essential.

“We believe that as stewards of the region, we have an obligation not only to our community, but also to the protection of the environment which we all love and value,” he said.

“A lot of people here support this, others unfortunately decide to ignore the rules.”

He pointed out that only the Tasmanian Parks and Wildlife Council and representatives have the power to impose fines.

BirdLife Tasmania’s Dr Eric Woehler said he played a pivotal role in establishing the legislative requirement to develop dog management plans and policy over a decade ago.

“When a dog attacks a person the dog is almost always shot, when a dog kills a penguin there is a slight uproar in the media and then it quickly subsides, but when a dog kills a nesting bird on the beach , nothing is happening at all, “he said.

Dr Woehler insisted that community pet owners, especially those with cats and dogs, should take responsibility for their furry friends.

“Before they were domesticated, dogs were carnivorous hunters,” he said.
