• Description:
  The National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS or the System), a state-federal partnership, is a nationwide network of state owned and managed coastal protected areas designated and supported by the U.S. Department of Commerce, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The sites (Fig. 1) represent the diverse estuarine and estuarine-like systems of America’s oceanic and Great Lakes coasts, setting them aside for long-term scientific and education programs that provide information essential to the public and coastal management decision-makers. The System is authorized by Section 315, National Estuarine Research Reserve System, of the Coastal Zone Management Act of 1972, as amended (CZMA).
