In 1995, a handful of Pelican Bay owners formed the Mangrove Action Group to rescue the forest from a significant die-off that was caused by a developer in the northern end. The County's remedies proved unsuccessful, and there was waning interest among other government agencies.  MAG took on the job and our efforts succeeded, but we learned shortly that we could never step away. Our work was just beginning.

        Mangroves are essential contributors to the well-being of humans and to the ecosystem in the sub-tropics and tropics.  They provide essential coastal protection and are homes to critical marine and bird nurseries. The trees are sturdy. They thrive in desiccating heat, choking mud and salt water.  However, they are harmed by developers who want more water "view" for homes, golf courses, and hotels, or for organizations who want more pathways to the beach, and with excess dredging that alters the flushing of roots or water salinity. 

     MAG is the watch guard of the mangroves and its ecosystem. We invite you to be one of us.  

       Our Mission:  Mangrove Action Group (MAG) is dedicated to conserving the Clam Pass/Clam Bay Natural Resource Protection Area (NRPA) and its natural environs, to protecting its mangroves, its wetlands and the flow and quality of its water, believing that its unspoiled character makes a critical contribution to the environment, to the flora and fauna that share it, and to the quality of life for everyone.
