More Information
Details: Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge (MINWR) is on the John F. Kennedy Space Center, east of Titusville, Florida. Approximately one half the Refuge's 140,000 acres consists of brackish estuaries and marshes. The remaining lands consist of coastal dunes, scrub oaks, pine forests and flatwoods, and palm and oak hammocks. The coastal location of MINWR, tremendous variety of habitats, and position between the subtropic and temperate zones contribute to the Refuge's importance as a major wintering area for migratory birds. More than 500 species of wildlife can be found on Merritt Island with 15 currently being listed as federally threatened or endangered.
