NERRA Staff

Matt Menashes serves as the Executive Director of the National Estuarine Research Reserve Association (NERRA), joining us in November 2008.  Before coming to NERRA, Matt was President and CEO of the Paddlesports Industry Association for eight years, where he encouraged Americans to enjoy water resources as places for recreation.  From 1996 until 2001, Matt worked for the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, where he worked on the designation of the Kachemak Bay NERR in Alaska, and assisted reserves in Florida, California, North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland.  Matt's experience in estuarine and coastal management, plus his background in business development and association management makes him a great advocate for estuaries.  He can be reached at matt @ nerra.org (take spaces out).
