Located on the Fort Morgan Peninsula, the newly con- served property features a variety of coastal habitats - shoreline, pine flatwoods, saltwater marsh, freshwater lagoons and wetlands, dune systems, maritime forests, and tidal creeks. The living shorelines and interior terrain provides ideal habitats for several native species, including young adult Kemp's ridley sea turtles, snowy plover, piping plover, Wilson's plover, and the endangered Alabama beach mouse. T he conserved property celebrated today also has the potential to benefit manatees migrating through the northern gulf, and ultimately increases protected coastal habitat at the Refuge for wildlife and public recreation by approximately 25 percent. “While we cannot undo the damage done by the Deep- water Horizon spill, we can prioritize collaborative efforts that ensure a healthier Gulf Coast for both communities and wildlife,” said Larry Selzer, President and CEO of Ad.
