The program, “Wildlife Matters: Florida’s Coastal Treasures,” was produced by Visit Florida, the US Fish & Wildlife Service, and other various agencies. Profiled are the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge and the Canaveral National Seashore Park. Viewers will learn about the ongoing work these two national parks are doing to provide a haven for some of Florida’s unique wildlife.

The Merritt Island Refuge is home to many of the state’s wading and migratory birds including the Roseatte Spoonbill, American Pelican, Reddish Egret, and Northern Shoveler. Canaveral National Seashore has the longest stretch of undeveloped beach in Florida (24 miles). It features pristine sand dunes with all types of native vegetation and is a favorite nesting site of the Loggerhead sea turtle.

The program will air on Fridays at 8:30 pm on Comcast Cable channel 11.
