Among the 560 refuges in the National Wildlife Refuge System, the J.N. “Ding” Darling National Wildlife Refuge on Sanibel will be the first to expand its accessibility initiatives to include a spotting scope for colorblind visitors.
Engineered by SeeCoast Manufacturing with EnChroma’s lens technology for color blindness, it will be unveiled at the Wildlife Drive observation tower on Aug. 4 at 10 a.m. EnChroma eyeglasses will also be available at the refuge for visitors with color vision deficiency to borrow.
