Matlacha Aquatic Preserve – With dark, tannin-stained waters, Matlacha Pass Aquatic Preserve is the tidal node between Charlotte Harbor to the north and the Caloosahatchee River and San Carlos Bay to the south. It is shaped in a sinuous channel that winds among oyster bars, mangrove islands and seagrass flats.
"This aquatic preserve is located just a few minutes West of Cape Coral, Florida and is the essence of the southwest Florida estuary - teeming with life, exquisite in form and extremely sensitive to human-caused impacts. It is one of our many jewels in southwest Florida and we have a duty to protect this valuable preserve!"
