Escribano Point WMA

This site is one of the last remaining undeveloped shorelines in the county, home to a mix of coastal, freshwater and saltwater habitats. Oyster reefs here help filter pollutants, support seagrass growth, and strengthen the health and resilience of the estuary. The area also provides vital nesting and foraging grounds for birds like piping plovers, least terns and black skimmers. In addition to being a vital habitat for wildlife, the area is also a cultural resource site in the form of a shell midden.
