They need signs at Ocean Beach clearly designating which areas are on-leash for protection of the plovers. I have no problem keeping my dogs away from those areas, but I need to know where they are. When I go to Ocean Beach, there are dogs off leash everywhere. They're usually just down by the shoreline chasing balls, though. I've never seen one take off after any bird.
