The Brevard Zoo’s Restore Our Shores project has added oyster reefs to grow
and protect the shoreline at the Maritime Hammock Sanctuary.
FRED MAYS
The 150-acre Maritime Hammock Sanctuary features a hiking trail with two bridges,
a boardwalk over wetland areas and an observation deck over a marsh pond.
prime scrub jay land can be found at the
Malabar Scrub Sanctuary in Malabar, off
U.S. 1 at State Road 514.
Some of the EEL properties offer
protection for the Indian River Lagoon
by limiting shoreline development.
These sanctuaries have preserved
the natural mangrove shores. At the
Maritime Hammock Sanctuary, the
Brevard Zoo’s Restore Our Shores
project has added oyster reefs to grow
and protect the shoreline.
In addition to the property tax, EEL
works with the state, U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service, St. Johns Water
Management District and local
governments to acquire property. All
acquisitions are done willingly. The
program does not condemn property
through eminent domain to acquire
any land.
Brevard County is one of the fastest
growing in Florida. More people
mean more pressure on the land
for development. EEL is one step
toward preserving some of its
natural environment.
