Mandalay National Wildlife Refuge, National Wildlife Refuge in Terrebonne Parish, United States.
This 4,416-acre protected area contains freshwater marshes, cypress-tupelo swamps, and numerous waterways intersected by the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway.
The refuge was established in 1996 as part of the Southeast Louisiana National Wildlife Refuge Complex to protect critical wetland habitats.
The land represents the traditional territory of the Chitmatcha and Houma peoples, who maintain their presence in the region today.
Access to the refuge requires a boat, as the headquarters sits 5 miles southwest of Houma on Louisiana Highway 182.
The refuge features a flotant marsh system, where sections of vegetation float on water rather than being anchored to solid ground.
