Wisconsin Wetlands is hosting a Coffee Break with Emily Tyner to discuss NERR
Join Emily Tyner in a Coffee Break discussion with the Wisconsin Wetlands Association, June 25, 2021 at 10: 30 a.m..
In recognition of the ecological, cultural, and historical importance of the wetland and estuarine systems of Green Bay, UW-Green Bay is leading the process to designate the Bay of Green Bay as a National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR). The NERR System is a national network of 29 sites across the coastal US, including the Great Lakes, designed to protect and study estuaries and their coastal wetlands. Wisconsin already has one designated NERR on Lake Superior. Emily will discuss the benefits of a NERR designation for Northeast Wisconsin and opportunities to provide input and thoughts on the role a reserve could fill in the region.
