Every year, NERRA joins with Restore America’s Estuaries (RAE), the Association of National Estuary Programs, NOAA’s Office for Coastal Management (NOAA OCM), and many other nonprofit and government groups to promote National Estuaries Week on a broad scale.

This celebration builds support for estuaries as cherished places and raises awareness of the many benefits they bring to communities.

Estuaries Week is an opportunity to encourage Reserve staff, friends, and fans to celebrate and show off your Reserve. This year, we hope you invite friends, colleagues, and neighbors to experience what an amazing place your estuary is and why you love it!
