The National Estuarine Research Reserve System Land
Acquisition and Construction Program is essential to both the Department of Commerce and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration because it enables them to protect and preserve Estuarine areas and at the same time conduct research and educational studies that will help the current and future generation understand marine and wildlife conditions.
