Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuge, located approximately off the coast of Darien, Georgia in McIntosh County, was established on April 3, 1930 to provide protection and habitat for migratory birds. The barrier island refuge consists of Wolf Island and two smaller islands, Egg and Little Egg. Over 75% of the refuge's are composed of saltwater marsh. Wolf Island NWR was designated a National Wilderness Area in 1975 and is maintained as such, with its primary purpose being to provide protection for migratory birds and such endangered and threatened species as the loggerhead sea turtle and piping plover. Due to its status as a wilderness area, no public use facilities are planned on the refuge. The refuge's saltwaters are open to a variety of recreational activities such as fishing and crabbing, but all beach, marsh, and upland areas are closed to the public. ==References== 〔 *(Profile of Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuge ) *(Refuge website ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wolf Island National Wildlife Refuge」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
