The American oystercatcher plays a crucial role in coastal ecosystems by helping to control shellfish populations, primarily oysters and clams, which are vital for maintaining the health of marine environments. Their feeding habits contribute to the ecological balance, as they help prevent overpopulation of these bivalves, promoting biodiversity. Additionally, as a species that relies on specific habitats for nesting and foraging, they serve as indicators of environmental health, signaling changes in habitat quality and ecosystem dynamics.
