The National Estuarine Research Reserve Association (NERRA) is a national nonprofit organization established in 1987 to advance the work of the federally funded National Estuarine Research Reserve System. Reserves and their regional friends groups rely on NERRA to help enhance successful programs, strengthen the network, and enable reserves to better address growing challenges to our nation’s estuaries, coasts, and communities. NERRA communicates the funding needs and priorities of the reserves to Congress and federal agencies and educates the general public about the importance of estuaries and coasts.
