Two bills were introduced in the U. S. Congress for designation of the Jupiter
Inlet Lighthouse Outstanding Natural Area (JILONA) on April 18, 2007 – S.1143 in the
Senate and H.R. 1922 in the House of Representatives. Both bills have had
subcommittee hearings and are awaiting mark-up.
The “Outstanding Natural Area” concept is a congressional designation that was
established to protect federal lands that contain unique scenic, scientific, educational, and
recreational values for the enjoyment of current and future generations. Recreation
activities center on those that foster education and interpretation of the Outstanding
Natural Area’s unique resources.
