Narragansett Bay Reserve

The Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve is made up of four islands, which consist of 4,332 acres of salt marsh, pine and deciduous forests, coastal meadows, eelgrass beds, and rocky intertidal zones. The Reserve is home to a variety of wildlife including white-tailed deer, mink, butterflies, turtles, harbor seals, and countless species of birds. The staff work on important issues, such as adaptation to climate change, conservation, and low-impact development.
