- Abstract
Our novel method for evaluating the conservation efficacy of coastal and wetland protected areas showed that both stewardship sites and protected areas had more positive trends across a plurality or majority of species (five and seven, respectively) than unprotected sites. Therefore, the primary differentiating factor between stewardship sites and protected areas was that of known, consistently implemented stewardship and engagement activities specifically for coastal birds at the former site type versus unknown occurrence or absence of stewardship at protected or unprotected areas, similar to a background sample in species distribution modeling.

Two species also had more negative trends at protected areas compared with unprotected areas, whereas no species had more negative trends at stewardship sites than protected areas.
