Our speaker was Joyce Kleen from the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge
Complex. Five National Wildlife Refuges are managed from this location.
Joyce spoke about the history and what wildlife was on these five refuges.
These refuges provide space and safety for manatees, birds, turtles and other
species. The refuges provide a nesting and breeding ground for thousands
of birds. A critical habitat is provided during the winter for more the 700
mandates. Loggerhead sea turtles nesting peaked at 165 nests in 2018.
