[edit]

Since 2012 the Archie Carr NWR is administered as part of theEverglades Headwaters NWR Complex, along withPelican Island NWR,Lake Wales Ridge NWR, and theEverglades Headwaters National Wildlife Refuge and Conservation Area,^[1] through a partnership with theCaribbean Conservation Corporation (a nonprofit turtle conservation group founded by Dr.Archie Carr himself) and Archie Carr Working Group.

Habitat

[edit]

The refuge provides nesting habitats for approximately one-fourth of all sea turtles nesting in the United States. About 15,000-20,000 sea turtles nests are laid annually, mostly loggerheads, green sea turtles, and someleatherbacks. The refuge also provides habitat for several other threatened and endangered species.

Three centers within the sanctuary are run byBrevard County under the aegis of the restrictions established by the federal government.^[2]
