Welcome to the official website of the North Inlet-Winyah Bay NERR! We
hope this site is informative and helpful to you. The links to the left
lead to detailed information about many activities conducted by Reserve
staff; please explore and learn more about us.
Created in 1972, the
National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS)
is dedicated to conservation, research, education, and stewardship
activities in America’s estuaries-coastal areas where the rivers
meet the sea. The North Inlet-Winyah Bay Reserve was
established in 1992 and is one of 27 sites around the coastal United
States. Each reserve receives funding from the National Oceanic and
Atmospheric Administration
(NOAA) and matched
resources from the host state agency. The North Inlet-Winyah Bay
Reserve is hosted by the
University of South Carolina,
Belle W. Baruch Institute for Marine
and Coastal Sciences. We are headquartered at the
internationally recognized
Baruch Marine Field Laboratory
in Georgetown, South Carolina. |
