How many endangered species live near the plant? Does the new nuclear facility threaten these species?
More than 60 species of birds and animals and 21 species of fish have a safe haven on the Turkey Point property. The proposed expansion of this facility will likely provide additional environmental benefits to the surrounding area. An example is our recent addition of Unit 5, which resulted in the restoration of a coastal lagoon area. Created with state and local agencies, Scout Lagoon is now a healthy and vital natural habitat for a wide range of plants and animals.
