COSEWIC status appraisal summary on the Edwards' Beach Moth Anarta edwardsii in Canada.: CW69-14/2-67-2021E-PDF

"This handsome, grey moth lives in sparsely-vegetated coastal dunes and upper beaches at only six sites on Vancouver Island and adjacent Gulf Islands; two of these subpopulations may be extirpated. The moth's habitats are at risk from increasing vegetation encroachment (by both native and non-native plant species), recreational activities, and loss of sand as a result of increasing frequency, severity and intensity of winter storms, compounded by sea level rise"--Reason for designation, page iii.
