Histoire naturelle

L'habitat inclut divers types de pocosins, des tourbières, des marais d'eau douce et saumâtre et des forêts de bois dur.

Parmi les espèces d'arbres présents, on trouve le copalme d'Amérique, le pinus serotina, l'érable rouge, le cyprès blanc atlantique et une grande variété d'espèces herbacées et d'arbustes communs sur la côte Est.

Dans la faune, on trouve l'ours noir sur les bords de mer, mais aussi de nombreux canards, des oies, des cygnes, des bécasses, des oiseaux limicoles, des raton laveurs, des cerfs, des loups rouges et, naturellement, des alligators qui ont donné le nom de la rivière et du refuge.

Les objectifs du refuge

Les objectifs de ce refuge sont la protection et la préservation des marais et des espèces qui y vivent. Il vise également à fournir des espaces pour accueillir les oiseaux migrateurs et pour le développement des espèces locales[3].

Un objectif important est la restauration des niveaux d'eau historiques du refuge grâce à des fossés de drainage artificiels. Cela permettra de réduire les risques d'incendie ainsi que de rétablir les habitats fauniques à préserver[4]. Le refuge offre également des possibilités de pratique de la chasse, de la pêche, d'éducation à l'environnement, d'observation et de la photographie.

Administration

Au total, une équipe de 33 personnes gère le refuge pour 42 000 visiteurs par an. Son budget est de 3 900 000 dollars.
