1- working to create protected sanctuary locations to promote loon breeding in the wild
2 - the very successful floating nests that they have located around the lake, specifically adjacent to some of the sanctuaries.
3 - working to get rid of Lead fishing weights
4 - rescuing and rehabilitating loons in distress.
How much have these initiatives help bring back the loon population, that is hard to tell.... but they have had an impact.

All good points LI ..........but 1,2 and 3 do not require disturbing them.
Only #4 would require contact and the is ,of course, a good thing.
We appreciate TLC just think the tagging is ill advised
