Advancing Coastal and Estuarine Science Education
National Estuarine Research Reserves are federally designated "to enhance public awareness and understanding of estuarine areas, and provide suitable opportunities for public education and interpretation." Each research reserve is an active member of the local and regional education community and a representative of the state and NOAA stewardship community. Through this network of 28 placed based areas around the country, the reserve system takes a local approach in advancing estuarine education and generating meaningful experiences for all kinds of people interested in learning about, protecting and restoring estuaries. Working at both the site level and as a national system, reserves have a greater impact than could be achieved through community efforts alone.
