Designated a Globally Important Bird Area by the National Audubon Society because of its importance as a migratory stopover, Napatree is a breeding and foraging site for a number of endangered species including Piping Plovers (Charadrius melodus), Least Terns (Sternula antillarum), and American Oystercatchers (Haematopus palliates). The habitats on Napatree-maritime shrubland, maritime herbaceous dune, and maritime beach strand-are the top-ranking habitats of greatest conservation need in Rhode Island.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe conservation area is heavily used by visitors. On a warm summer day, over 1,000 people enjoy the 1.1 mile-long beach. Public access is ensured by the conservation easement over Napatree held by The Watch Hill Conservancy. In 2022, there were over 44,000 visits to the site.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince 2013, The Watch Hill Conservancy has published an annual State of Napatree report that contains monitoring data on its fauna, flora, and geology.
