About the NERRS Education Network
The National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) comprises 28 research reserves, each of which, most often, includes the following staff people: a Manager, Education Coordinator, Coastal Training Program Coordinator, Research Coordinator, Stewardship Coordinator, GIS Specialist, and a SWMP Technician. Education is an important priority for the Reserve System. Each Education Coordinator works, together with other education specialists, to provide formal, informal and outreach related activities. Many reserves have volunteer programs and internships to assist with education activities.
The national office coordinates with other federal agencies, national education, scientific and environmental organizations, and interest groups. Each 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 place-based areas around the country, the reserve system takes a local approach in advancing estuary 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.
