Coastal Virginia Wildlife Observatory has adopted the Lower Delmarva Important Bird Area (see article below on adopting IBAs in Virginia). The Observatory is already very active on the lower Eastern Shore, providing free daily public education to visitors during the August-November bird migration period, at its songbird banding, hawk banding and hawkwatch research stations at Kiptopeke State Park. The lower Delmarva is a bird concentration area of global significance. The Observatory also collaborates with the State Park, the Eastern Shore of Virginia National Wildlife Refuge and other organizations about habitat management and conservation issues.
