“Tropical Audubon Society believes the state should be working to acquire more land for conservation such as these, not surplussing them,” according to a call for action on the website, Eye on Miami.

The parcels identified in Oleta State Park, a popular recreation area in North Miami, are mangrove wetlands inhabited by waterbirds and fisheries, while the area in the Keys is also critical to wildlife in the area. [Eye on Miami] — Emily Schmall
