Assateague Island National Seashore is a 37-mile-long narrow barrier island lying off the coast of Maryland and Virginia. The management of the Maryland portion of the island is more focused on outdoor recreation and an appreciation of nature. Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) occupies the Virginia end of the island is focused on managing critical habitats for the benefit of wildlife. Situated on the Atlantic Flyway, Chincoteague NWR is a major resting and refueling spot for thousands of migrating birds. It is an important link in the chain of coastal refuges helping to preserve disappearing coastal wetlands.
