CERP Project:
Strazzulla Wetlands
The purpose of this feature is to provide a hydrological and ecological connection to the Loxahatchee National Wildlife Refuge and expand the spatial extent of protected natural areas. This land can act as a buffer between higher water stages to the west and lands to the east that must be drained. This increase in spatial extent will provide habitat connectivity for species that require large un-fragmented tracts of land for survival.
The project includes water control structures and the acquisition of 3,335 acres located in Palm Beach County.
