The World's Largest Freshwater Estuary: Green Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve

About this event

Join Emily Tyner, Director of Freshwater Strategy at UW-Green Bay, to learn about the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERR) and UW-Green Bay’s Green Bay Estuary Digital Archives Collection.

NERR is a national network of 30 sites across the coastal U.S.- including the Great Lakes – designed to protect and study estuaries and their coastal wetlands. With funding and guidance from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), we can begin new efforts to preserve this one-of-a-kind freshwater ecosystem. It’s science that matters, with benefits ranging from education to our local economy.

Plus, explore how UW-Green Bay’s Green Bay Estuary Digital Archives Collection preserves Northeastern Wisconsin’s water history, science, and cultural impact.
