| Description: | On May 8, 2008, Public Law 110-229 (section 202) established the Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area (ONA) in Palm Beach County, Florida and designated it a part of the National Conservation Lands â¿¿ the only unit of the system east of the Mississippi River. The site, totaling 120 acres, is a mix of sensitive native habitats and historic development from previous uses of the site and includes the nationally listed Jupiter Inlet Lighthouse, structures supporting previous military uses of the site and buildings related to past U.S. Coast Guard operations. The ONA is a focal point for local communities and tourist destination, attracting approximately 100,000 visitors annual, whom visit the site to engage in tours, programs, and events, or visit the dispersed areas of the site to participate in low-impact recreational activities, such as walking, swimming and wildlife photography. Aside from public visitation and recreation the management of the ONA focuses on protection and enhancement of the historic, natural and cultural values of the site and promotes science and education through a number of site related programs. Aside from the ONAâ¿¿s namesake lighthouse, the site is known for its rich history, including an archaeological record dating back over 8,000 years. These cultural resources are both locally and nationally significant and are representative of a variety of different periods in North American history from Native Americanâ¿¿s to European explorer and from development of civilian agencies to top secret military uses. |
