The nation’s 28 National Estuarine Research Reserves (NERR) are experiencing the negative effects of human and climate-related stressors, according to a new research report funded by NOAA’s Climate Program Office from the National Ocean Service.

The Tijuana River Valley in Southern California has been the focus of major restoration, conservation, and research efforts, making it a regional system able to accommodate impacts associated with our changing climate. A project funded by CPO’s Coastal and Ocean Climate Applications program aims to maintain and improve the resiliency of this region.
