Nesting sea turtles and people share one of the narrow barrier islands within the boundary of Archie Carr NWR. Erosion from minor storms and major hurricanes like Francess and Jeane dramatically raise the value of this shrinking commodity.

Once orange groves, the Pelican Island Trail traverses the now restored acreage of palms, gumbo limbo, ficus and other trees. Unfortunately, Hurricane Frances and Jeane blew over hundreds of palms plants only since last July.

Here are photos from yesterday SEP 27, 2004 by Ron Hight. The first photo was taken before the storm as the contractor (FHA) was attempting to repair the dike and plug the opening before Jeanne. The subsequent photos were in the same area. The cabbage palm is a point of reference.
