Seal
Beach NWR
Seal
Beach National Wildlife Refuge is one of many partnerships
for conserving wildlife between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife
Service and the Department of the Navy. The refuge is located
on the Seal Beach Naval Weapons Station in Orange County and
was established to protect the endangered California Least
Tern, Light-footed Clapper Rail, and to provide quality habitat
for California Brown Pelican, Peregrine Falcon and Belding’s
Savannah Sparrow. Like the other coastal units of the Complex,
Seal Beach NWR provides critical stop-over and winter habitat
for migratory waterfowl, raptors and shorebirds along the
Pacific Flyway.
Currently, access to the refuge is limited. Please call the
Seal Beach Visitor Center at
(562) 598-1024 for more information on current
activities.
