U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service

Arthur R Marshall Loxahatchee Management

The refuge's management activities focus primarily on wetland habitat restoration, particularly through water quality and hydro pattern improvement, and exotic plant control. A large portion of refuge management effort is spent controlling exotic and invasive plants and pursuing funding to eliminate these threats. The three most problematic exotic plant species on the refuge are melaleuca, Brazilian pepper, and Old World climbing fern (lygodium). The refuge is working together with many other federal and state agencies regionally in South Florida to address these issues and restore Everglades habitat for the benefit of wildlife. The Refuge under the guidance of the Fish & Wildlife Service, preserves and manages the natural resources Of the Refuge for the enjoyment of this and future generations.
