STEER is a 3.7 sq. mile collection of marine reserves and wildlife sanctuaries that includes the last remaining mangrove lagoon on St. Thomas. Widely recognized as one of the Territory's most significant nursery grounds for commercially and recreationally-important fisheries, STEER encompasses Mangrove Lagoon, Benner Bay, Compass Pt. Salt Pond, Jersey Bay, Nazareth Bay, Cow pet Bay, and Great Bay. The STEER watershed is 6.2 sq. miles of upland area that drain directly to these waters. More information on the environmental, social, and economic aspects of STEER can be found in the 2011 STEER Management Plan and in the 2012 S TEER Coastal Use Survey"--Introduction.
