The Connecticut Audubon Society Coastal Center at Milford Point is a nature center and bird sanctuary in Milford, Connecticut, established in 1995. Over 300 different species of bird have been observed at this location. The Coastal Center is located on an 8.4-acre (34,000 m2) barrier beach—the Smith-Hubbell Wildlife Refuge & Bird Sanctuary—and is situated next to the 840-acre (3.4 km2) Charles E. Wheeler Wildlife Management Area at the mouth of the Housatonic River. The Coastal Center provides easy access to Long Island Sound and its many habitats: tidal salt marshes, barrier beaches, tide pools and coastal dunes, and utilizes these habitats for environmental education for youth and adults. These various environments and habitats support a variety of bird, plant and animal communities for observation and study. The Coastal Center also contains educational exhibits and live animals. The Coastal Center aims to promote awareness of Long Island Sound's ecosystem, the birds and habitats it supports and to foster their preservation, in keeping with the mission of the Connecticut Audubon Society.The center is one of five nature centers and 19 wildlife sanctuaries operated by Connecticut Audubon Society, which is not part of the National Audubon Society.

Milford Point is a 23-acre (0.093 km2) barrier beach on the shoreline of Milford, Connecticut. The long peninsula is the southwest extremity of the city, located at the mouth of the Housatonic River on Long Island Sound. A sandspit landform, the Point serves as a fortress, protecting the Charles Wheeler Salt Marsh (WMA), a tidal wetland and habitat to 315 different species of waterfowl, shorebirds, and waders. Milford Point is considered one of Connecticut's top birdwatching destinations, as the environment provides foraging and resting areas for tens of thousands of shorebirds each year, making it one of the most essential migration stopover areas on the Sound. Ownership of Milford Point is divided between the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the State Department of Environmental Protection. Additionally, the Connecticut Audubon Society leases a portion of land from the state, which is used as a bird sanctuary and educational facility called the Audubon Coastal Center at Milford Point. Milford Point is also one of ten land units that make up the Stewart B. McKinney Wildlife Refuge.

Charles E. Wheeler Wildlife Management Area is a 625-acre (253 ha) brackish tidal marsh, nature preserve and hunting area owned by the state of Connecticut located in Devon (village), Milford, New Haven County, Connecticut.The Charles E. Wheeler WMA is located on the eastern shore (Milford side) of the mouth of the Housatonic River. It is protected from Long Island Sound by a barrier beach known as Milford Point. The main channel of the Housatonic River flows north and south to the west of the Charles E. Wheeler WMA, however a substantial amount of the water flows into and through the estuary itself particularly with the tide. The US Army Corp of Engineers dredged the Housatonic River channel between the WMA and Stratford in both 1976 and 2012. Without dredging, sediment from upriver would expand the Nells Island salt marsh area into the main channel of the river, obstructing recreational boating and commercial shipping.
