Big Mullet Key Wildlife Management Area
Big Mullet Key is one of three mangrove islands nine miles northwest of Key West within the National Wildlife Refuge.
No-motor buffer zones of 300 feet surround Big Mullet Key and Cottrell Key, with a 300-foot no-access buffer zone around the nearby Little Mullett Key to protect wildlife.
The island harbors nesting great white herons, a variety of other wading birds, and mangrove terrapins.
Special regulations apply here. Learn more about what activities are allowed in this type of zone.
