Description

Glenn Martin National Wildlife Refuge includes the northern half of Smith Island , which lies 11 miles west of Crisfield, Maryland, and Watts Island , which is located between the eastern shore of Virginia and Tangier Island. Both islands are situated in the lower Chesapeake Bay.

The refuge was established in 1954 when the late Glenn L. Martin donated 2,569 acres to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Since then, donation and purchase has increased the size of the refuge to 4,548 acres . The tidal marsh, coves and creeks, and vegetated ridges of the refuge form an important stopover and wintering area for thousands of migratory waterfowl and nesting habitat for various wildlife species.
