The variable oystercatcher has issues with disturbance from human activity which damages nests. [11] Habitat loss such as decreasing coastal dunes that provide essential breeding locations for the species are likely to have a large impact on all populations. Fishing nets and oil spills also pose threatening for the species. [8]
