Florida's Pristine Parks: Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge. Ten Thousand Islands National Wildlife Refuge protects a 35,000-acre labyrinth of mangrove islands, freshwater and saltwater marshes, brackish ponds, winding channels, sandy beaches, and shallow bays.
Multiple endangered species, including the Florida manatee and Atlantic loggerhead turtle, find shelter in the refuge, which is also home to nearly 200 bird and fish species. While many of the birds are migratory, wildlife commonly spotted year-round includes bottlenose dolphins, egrets, manatees, river otters, green sea turtles, and an array of resident birds such as egrets, herons, cormorants, and ospreys. Located on Florida’s southwest coast east of Marco Island, the refuge primarily offers water-based activities requiring a boat. And since it’s easy to get lost among the mangroves, paddling or boating with a guide is recommended for first-time visitors. Naples Children & Education Foundation.
