Comprehensive Plan Conservation Element <br />Spoil Islands <br />Spoil islands are valuable conservation areas that provide important bird rookery and other habitat <br />values. In Indian River County, major bird rookeries are located on the following islands: Riomar <br />Island (IR -32), Johns Island Spoil, Duck Point Islands, and Pelican Island. While Riomar Island is <br />located just north of the 17th Street Bridge in Vero Beach, the Johns Island Spoil includes two <br />dredged spoil islands west of Johns Island. The Duck Point Spoil Islands are located north of C.R. <br />510 and just west of the ICW. Pelican Island, the County's premier bird rookery, is a natural feature. <br />In Indian River County, spoil islands are also utilized for recreational purposes by boaters for <br />picnicking. On some of the islands, overnight camping is allowed. The location of the spoil islands <br />is depicted in Figures 8.26 (A -B). Listed in Table 8.8 is an inclusive inventory of the Spoil Islands of <br />Indian River County and their designated use. <br />Community Development Department Indian River County 83 <br />
