Breton National Wildlife Refuge consists of crescent sweep of low islands located in Breton Sound off the southeast coast of Louisiana. All of the Breton National Wildlife Refuge lands, except for North Breton Island, are part of the National Wilderness System.

Breton National Wildlife Refuge provides breeding habitat for colonies of wading birds and seabirds and wintering habitat for shorebirds and waterfowl. Twenty-three species of seabirds and shorebirds frequently use the refuge, and thirteen species nest on the islands. The most abundant nesters are brown pelicans, laughing gulls, and royal, Caspian, and sandwich terns. The refuge provides important wintering habitat for the federally threatened piping plover.
