When Jolyne Hebert goes to survey the number of common terns nesting on an artificial platform in Shediac Bay, she takes precautions. "So in 2019 we actually had a record number of eggs," said Hebert, a project co-ordinator with the Shediac Bay Watershed Association. (Charles LeGresley/Shediac Bay Watershed Association)The nesting platform project started in 2014 after the terns lost their old nesting ground. Hebert said they were able to use salvageable pieces of dock donated by the Shediac Bay Yacht Club to rebuild.
