East Harbor Key Wildlife Management Area

These mangrove islands are 9 miles northeast of Key West. The northernmost island has a 300-foot no-access zone to protect wildlife while idle-speed/no-wake zones protect nesting herons, cormorants, and osprey (Pandion haliaetus) along the tidal creeks.

Special regulations apply here. Learn more about what activities are allowed in this type of zone.

A summary of all sanctuary regulations is available online. For the full text of sanctuary regulations, see 15 CFR 922 Subpart P.
