About Maryland DNR NERRs

The Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve Maryland protects 6,000 acres of natural lands and waters in Maryland. The protected Reserve sites serve as living laboratories for research and living classrooms for education and coastal training. The Chesapeake Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve Maryland's mission is to “improve coastal resource management by increasing scientific understanding of estuarine systems and making estuarine research relevant, meaningful, and accessible to managers and stakeholders.” We accomplish this through Research, Education, Coastal Training, and Stewardship Programs.
