Sanibel Island - The Sanibel River

Our own river on Sanibel Island!

The Sanibel River - We wouldn’t be Sanibel without it! One of the things that makes Sanibel Island a truly unique place is that abundance of wildlife. Birds, reptiles, and mammals of all types have made Sanibel home. The reason they can do this and flourish - The Sanibel River.
	I recently read a really interesting article by Ed Brotak in Times of the Islands that brought forth some very interesting facts about the Sanibel River. • It is actually a Slough, not a river. • A Slough is an area of freshwater lowlands • Because there is very little elevation change on Sanibel, the water in the River does not consistently flow in one direction • The water levels in the Sanibel River are directly related to rainfall • There are two Weirs that control the water levels in the river. • SCCF – the Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation was created in 1967 and has as a top priority the preservation of Sanibel’s freshwater wetlands.
If you would like to learn more about this unique feature on Sanibel Island, stop by the SCCF Nature Center. From there you can view the river from their Observation Tower and learn more about the ecology of the island.
	And if you think it's time to become a part of our Sanibel Island lifestyle, I am ready to help you search for the perfect Sanibel Island Real Estate!
