Message From The Manager

Welcome to the Rookery Bay Aquatic Preserve. I am very proud to be able to oversee the intrinsic natural resources that our community gets to enjoy each and every day. We have a vast diversity of plants and animals that call this aquatic preserve their home. While it is important to have recreational opportunities in the estuary, it is also crucial to preserve and educate the public how important and fragile these ecosystems are. It is our passion and commitment to protect and monitor these natural resources for future generations. If you are out in the aquatic preserve, it is important to respect and perform best practices to ensure protection of these environments. Together, we can keep the Rookery Bay Aquatic Preserve a gem for Floridians and for visitors from afar to cherish.   

Sincerely,

Nick Lechmanik
