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. During the May Monthly Tour a Los Angeles Times reporter came out and visited Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge. Here is a link to the article that was written in the travel section on June 22nd, 2008 Los Angeles Times article on Seal Beach National Wildlife Refuge
