Wisconsin Secretary of Administration to Visit Green Bay Today | Seehafer News

Wisconsin Secretary of Administration Joel Brennen will be in Green Bay this afternoon to present a grant supporting the region’s efforts to locate a National Estuarine Research Reserve (NERR) on The Bay of Green Bay.In partnership with local and national agencies, UW-Green Bay is leading efforts to recognize local waters as a national reserve—an important next step in the region’s 30-plus-year effort to protect one of the largest surface freshwater systems on earth.The NERR designation will help UW-Green Bay and its partners bring in funding—more than $1 million per year—for water-focused scientific research, education, stewardship and training, and will include a visitor center for hands-on and place-based education, lab space, conference area, and a boat launch
