Sandoff Lake IBA
Sandoff Lake SK 015 (49°05′16″N 104°09′23″W / 49.0879°N 104.1563°W / 49.0879; -104.1563) is an Important Bird Area (IBA) of Canada[7] located in the RM of Lake Alma, about 7 kilometres (4.3 mi) south of the village of Lake Alma. The IBA site encompasses Sandoff Lake[8] and the surrounding shoreline totalling 10.24 km2 (3.95 sq mi). Sandoff Lake is an endorheic, salt lake with an irregularly shaped shoreline with multiple small islands. The lake has a significant population of piping plovers and, as such, the eastern two-thirds of the north shore is designated as a critical piping plover habitat. This designation protects the lake from development below the high water mark.[9]
