The Spoon-billed Sandpiper is a long distance migrant, breeding on the coastal tundra of far eastern Russia, and migrating 8,000 km south along the East-Asian Australasian Flyway, including key staging posts in the Yellow Sea. The species winters on inter-tidal mudflats in South and South-east Asia, particularly Myanmar, China and Bangladesh. The demographic driver of the recent population decline appears to be extremely low juvenile survival with few birds recruited back into the breeding population. Young birds generally do not return to the breeding grounds until the second year. The major cause of juvenile mortality is believed to be trapping and hunting, primarily on the wintering grounds, and notably in Myanmar, China and Bangladesh. That is the highest category of extinction threat for any species still present in the wild. In 2010, it was assessed that at the current rate of population decline this species could become extinct within a decade.
Wintering period in MyanmarSpoon-billed Sandpiper is regular wintering in Myanmar. There has four main wintering sites (Gulf of Mottama, Nanthar, Ayawaddy Delta and Myeik&BokePyin mudflat). Highest wintering numbers can be seen in Gulf of Mottama (approx. 50%) of global population and Nanthar Island (approx. 23-25) annually.
What do you expect?The Gulf of Mottama, covering an area within a straight line between the southern point of Pyapon township in Ayeyarwady Region and the southern point of Mudon township in Mon State, is one of the world’s most dynamic wetland. It is a large and generally undisturbed funnel-shaped estuary with extensive tidal flats which receive constant mass of sediments from Ayeyarwady, Sittaung and Thanlwin rivers. Its tidal cycle is extremely pronounced in speed and amplitude causing a powerful bore phenomenon.The highly productive intertidal mudflats support over 150,000 water birds, of which 12 are globally threatened according to IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. The Gulf of Mottama (GoM) acts as nutrient sink providing spawning and nursery grounds for aquatic species beyond the Gulf and far into the Bay of Bengal. A great number of populations of over 150 villages depend upon the Gulf for their livelihoods and food security such as small-scale and commercial fisheries, aquaculture, agriculture.
