The Stewardship Program at South Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve (South Slough NERR) is dedicated to the Reserve’s function as a protected area to be used as a focal point for coastal ecosystem research and education. The program operates with input from a variety of partners to maintain the ecological integrity of the Reserve and its associated watershed and to generate science-based natural resource management information that is relevant to the communities and partners served by the Reserve. The intent is to foster better informed management of Pacific Northwest estuaries and coastal watersheds. To date, the Stewardship Program has been primarily focused on habitat restoration and acquisition planning. The program will grow over the next planning period into a more broadly focused, integrated and innovative example of coastal Pacific Northwest watershed stewardship.
