Wildfires often result from passing thunderstorms, especially during summer months. These fires are controlled as soon as possible in critical areas, and are frequently allowed to burn in areas where prescribed fires were scheduled to be conducted. Surveys are conducted for many species of wildlife including sea turtles, bald eagles, ospreys, wading birds, shorebirds, waterfowl, and alligators. Data collected on these species is used to determine use and population trends for management purposes. Progress Report St. Johns NWR Comprehensive Conservation Plans are being produced for these refuges.
