Massachusetts H5139 establishes a review process for beach management guidelines to protect piping plovers, terns, and their habitats.

Massachusetts H5139 mandates the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Game to review its Guidelines for Managing Recreational Use of Beaches every two years. The Division of Fisheries and Wildlife must consult with municipal or regional beach managers and hold at least two public hearings per review period to gather public input. This process aims to ensure the guidelines effectively protect piping plovers, terns, and their habitats.
