Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge, Wildlife refuge on Nantucket Island, Massachusetts, United States.
The Coskata-Coatue Wildlife Refuge extends across 916 acres of barrier beach, featuring dunes, marshes, and the largest red cedar woodland in New England.
The conservation initiative began in 1974 when The Trustees of Reservations acquired the land to protect the natural resources of Nantucket Island.
The name Coskata originates from Wampanoag language, referring to a traditional fishing location used by Native American communities.
Access to the refuge requires a four-wheel drive vehicle and an Oversand Vehicle Permit, obtainable at the Wauwinet Gatehouse between May and October.
The refuge implements managed retreat strategies and coastal management techniques to adapt to climate change impacts on its barrier beach system.
