This habitat supports the largest known population of the Myrtle's silverspot. The habitat is also managed by grazing to prevent seral succession and to limit the effects of invasive plants. Habitat capable of supporting Myrtle's Silverspot within the Sonoma Mendocino Coast District (SMCD) is protected from development by its classification as a State Park. However, this recovery action is specific to private lands (e.g., Marin Coast Ranch and any other private lands on Marin and Sonoma County coasts that support Myrtle's Silverspot. Point Reyes National Seashore and Sonoma Mendocino Coast District (SMCD) protect habitat for Myrtle's silverspot butterfly (MSB) on public lands, but this recovery action is specific to Marin Coast Ranch and other private lands in coastal Marin and Sonoma Counties if support MSB. Caltrans is in the process of preserving and managing 2.61 acres habitat for Myrtle's silverspot under a conservation easement on the Ballard Ranch Property along the Sonoma Coast as mitigation at a 9:1 ratio. Caltrans will establish 4,722 individual Viola adunca host plants for Myrtle's silverspot on 0.12-0.36 acre of habitat at a 3:1 mitigation ratio and restore nectar habitat within their proposed conservation easement at Ballard Ranch on the Sonoma County coast. 0.015 acre of MSB larval habitat will be preserved in the proposed conservation easement.

PORE, in Feb 2011 conducted a large-scale dune restoration project just south of Abbott's Lagoon. Through the Abbotts Lagoon Coastal Dune Restoration Project, 80 acres of European beachgrass and 1 acre of iceplant were removed from approximately 200 acres of coastal dune. This project should have indirect benefits for Lupinus tidestromii by removing habitat for (artificially elevated numbers of) seed predators that threaten the existing Abbotts Lagoon population and allowing for natural sand movement, as well as some direct benefits for this species and Layia carnosa by creating new habitat for these species. Also, for the benefit of Chorizanthe valida, in Dec 2010, more than 10 acres of yellow bush lupine was removed (which is known to facilitate invasion by non-native species by increasing nitrogen and organic content). Various habitat restoration has been ongoing for Erysimum menziesii and Layia carnosa around Humboldt Bay, conducted by the FWS and BLM, and nonprofits. In late summer 2011, 80 acres of European beachgrass and iceplant were removed from 190 acres of dunes. In addition, treatment began in fall 2011 of an additional 28.1 acres of beachgrass and iceplant norht and south of the above area. There is currently an invasive species management program within Sonoma Mendocino Coast District (SMCD), which occurs within habitats capable of supporting Myrtle's Silverspot Butterflies. Pt. Reyes National Seashore conducts a lot of invasive plant removal within MSB habitat on the outer point, but there is always more work to do. | |||||||||||
