At 30 sites in 25 coastal states and territories, National Estuarine Research Reserves work with partners like you to protect people and places of our nation’s coasts.

Reserve combines monitoring, science, education, and training to advance community resilience to fires, sea level rise, and storms. They promote accessibility, support the economy, and—once in a while—save a baby manatee.
