Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve

The Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Virginia (CBNERR) strives to be a national leader in demonstrating how science, education, and coastal-resource stewardship can solve coastal-management problems and improve the awareness and understanding of estuaries. In order to achieve our primary goals, CBNERR is continually developing complimentary programs of research, education, and land stewardship.

The multiple component Reserve system located along the York River estuary is a key resource that supports all aspects of Reserve activities. Reserve components include Sweet Hall Marsh, Taskinas Creek, Catlett Islands, and Goodwin Islands.
