Great Bay Reserve

The Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve is made up of 10,235 acres of natural land and open water along New Hampshire’s coast. The Reserve is host to a wide range of species, from oysters, lobsters, striped bass, and horseshoe crabs to migratory osprey and annually spawning river herring. The staff work to reduce pollution, conserve natural resources, and cope with the effects of climate change on local communities and habitats.
