Did you know St. Vincent Island plays a critical role in saving an endangered species? 🐺

The red wolf was declared extinct in the wild in 1980. The remaining animals living in captivity became founders for a national captive breeding program that involves dozens of institutions across North America.

Since 1989, St. Vincent Island has provided a vital, semi-wild environment where selected red wolf pairs can breed and raise their pups without human interference. We are proud that the island has hosted 23 adults and been the birthplace of 28 pups since the program began! 🐾

Haaaaave you met St. Vincent? 🤝

Located off the Gulf Coast near Apalachicola, St. Vincent National Wildlife Refuge protects nearly 12,500 acres of ecologically significant barrier island habitat along Florida’s Forgotten Coast.

Established in 1968 and managed by the United States Fish and Wildlife Service, the refuge preserves a diverse landscape of coastal dunes, pine flatwoods, freshwater lakes, tidal marshes, and undeveloped beaches that provide critical habitat for native and migratory wildlife species. The island supports sea turtle nesting habitat, migratory bird populations along the Gulf, and other protected coastal species. 🦅

Accessible only by boat, St. Vincent remains one of the least developed barrier islands in Florida. The island provides an opportunity to experience the true via wildlife viewing, photography, hiking, paddling, and fishing in designated public use areas, while ongoing conservation and habitat management efforts ensure the long-term protection of the refuge’s natural resources.
