habitats, historical resources, and
archaeological sites of the refuges. To
enable the implementation of
management activities outlined under
Alternative C, the refuge volunteer
program would more than double from
current levels and refuge staff would be
expanded to eleven.
Pelican Island National Wildlife
Refuge was established in 1903 by
President Roosevelt ‘‘as a preserve and
breeding ground for native birds’’
through an unnumbered Executive
Order. Located across the Intracoastal
Waterway from Sebastian, Florida, in
Indian River County in southeastern
Florida, the refuge manages over 5,400
acres of estuarine, transitional, and
upland habitats supporting 14 federally
listed species and 45 state listed species,
as well as a wide variety of mammals,
birds, reptiles and amphibians, fishes,
invertebrates, and plants. Although the
refuge exists in an increasingly
developed landscape, it supports key
fish spawning sites, a globally important
juvenile sea turtle habitat, and
important bird rookeries. Given its
location in a transitional zone between
subtropical and temperate climates,
refuge supports highly diverse resident
and migratory species. Over 600 wildlife
species have been confirmed on the
refuge with hundreds more expected to
occur with more extensive surveys.
Over 130 species of birds, over 200
species of fish, and 250 species of plants
have been confirmed on the refuge.
