                     EMERALD COAST WILDLIFE REFUGE

  (Mr. GAETZ asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GAETZ. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to celebrate the outstanding 
work of the leadership and volunteers at the Emerald Coast Wildlife 
Refuge in my district. The wildlife refuge services thousands of 
animals each year from Escambia, Santa Rosa, Walton, and Bay Counties. 
They provide services through rescue, rehab, and environmental 
outreach.
  Our community leaders and volunteers have shown overwhelming support 
for this incredible mission that includes educational outreach so that 
young people can learn more about our environment and the fantastic 
critters that we share the planet with.
  I am so proud of the wildlife refuge's accomplishments over the past 
decade, and I look forward to the future impact that they will have on 
their new home in the Navarre community and throughout the great 
northwest Florida.
