Presquile National Wildlife Refuge was officially established in 1953 for use
as an inviolate sanctuary, or for any other management purpose, for migratory
birds. It is an important stopover site to migratory birds as they travel up
and down the Atlantic Flyway. In addition, the 1,329 acre island refuge
provides protected breeding habitat for State-listed threatened and endangered
species, as well as many neotropical migrating bird species. Hundreds of
native plant and animal species thrive in the isolated wetlands, forests, and
grassland habitats.
