A brown pelican stands sentinel on a piling in the turn basin at NASA Kennedy Space Center's Launch Complex 39. Launch Pad 39A is visible in the background.

The center shares a boundary with the Merritt Island National Wildlife Refuge, consisting of 140,000 acres. The refuge provides a wide variety of habitats -- coastal dunes, saltwater estuaries and marshes, freshwater impoundments, scrub, pine flatwoods, and hardwood hammocks -- that provide sanctuary for more than 1,500 species of plants and animals, including about 331 species of birds.
