On the edge of the South Island, a coastal sanctuary has become a safe place for sea birds to nest. Years ago, the area was disturbed by pests, rubbish, and too much foot traffic. To protect the birds, conservation workers cleared litter, fenced off nesting zones, and monitored the beach during breeding season.

The results have been encouraging. More eggs have survived, and several species now return each summer in larger numbers. Visitors are still welcome, but they must stay on marked paths and keep dogs away from protected areas. The sanctuary manager explained that the project works because people and nature are both given space to thrive.

Which is the best summary of the passage?

The beach was closed because too many birds were nesting there. Dogs are the main reason more eggs have survived this season. Conservation work has helped protect a coastal sanctuary for nesting sea birds. Visitors are being allowed to walk anywhere if they are careful.
