Description
The National Estuarine Research Reserve System
(NERRS) consists of estuarine areas of the United States and its
territories which are designated and managed for research and
educational purposes. Each reserve within the system is chosen to
reflect regional differences and to include a variety of ecosystem
types in accordance with the classification scheme of the national
program as presented in 15 CFR Part 921. Each reserve supports a wide
range of beneficial uses of ecological, economic, recreational, and
aesthetic values which are dependent upon the maintenance of a healthy
ecosystem. The sites provide habitats for a wide range of ecologically
and commercially important species of fish, shellfish, birds, and other
aquatic and terrestrial wildlife. Each reserve has been designed to
ensure its effectiveness as a conservation unit and as a site for long-
term research and monitoring. As part of a national system, the
reserves collectively provide an excellent opportunity to address
research questions and estuarine management issues of national
significance. For detailed descriptions of the sites, refer to the NERR
Web site at http://frwebgate.access.gpo.gov/cgi-bin/leaving.cgi?from=leavingFR.html&log=linklog&to=http://www.nerrs.noaa.gov.
