At the time of the plover's listing as a threatened species in 1993, there were about 35 plovers in Oregon.  Now, there are about 175. 

The species’ recovery plan established the goal of 100 breeding pairs in Oregon. 

The overall recovery goal for Wasington, Oregon, and California is 3,000 breeding adults per year for 10 years.
