Resource Management
Our mission is to provide safe habitat to the wildlife of the Refuge islands; therefore, the island interiors are closed to public entry, except for Atsena Otie. Atsena Otie can be entered and its trails and historic cemetery visited. All island beaches are open to the public, except that of Seahorse Key, its beaches and a 100 yard perimeter, which are closed to all public entry during March through June - nesting season for 20,000 birds. Other than human impact, non-native plants, introduced in bird guano, are the only resource management concerns.
