Moody National Wildlife Refuge is a protected coastal wetland in Chambers County on the upper Texas Gulf coast, established in 1961 under the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918. The oldest unit in the Texas Chenier Plain Refuge Complex, it preserves more than 3,500 acres of marsh habitat vital to resident birds, migrants, wintering waterfowl, raptors, shorebirds, songbirds, and neotropical warblers. Threatened and endangered species recorded there include the bald eagle, piping plover, and peregrine falcon. Although all of its land remains privately owned, conservation easements and federal habitat management protect the refuge from development and help address erosion, saltwater intrusion, invasive species, and other environmental threats.
