NOAA & NERRS MissionNOAA: To conduct research, develop products, provide scientific understanding and leadership and to conduct outreach towards fostering NOAA’s evolving environmental and economic mission.
NERRS: To practice and promote coastal and estuarine stewardship through innovative research and education using a system of protected areas.
![Page 5: The National Estuarine Research Reserve System: An ... · The National Estuarine Research Reserve System: An Observations Pipeline for Moving Monitoring to Management Dr. Whitley](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022070719/5edeefefad6a402d666a4c1f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
NERRS Goals
1. Strengthen the protection and management of representative estuarine ecosystems to advance estuarine conservation, research, and education.
2. Increase the use of reserve science and sites to address priority coastal management issues.
3. Enhance peoples’ ability and willingness to make informed decisions and take responsible actions that affect coastal communities and ecosystems.

SWMP Phase I
Identify and track short-term variability and long-term changes in the integrity and biodiversity of estuarine ecosystems.

Biotic monitoring will build upon Phase I SWMP (water, weather, nutrients)
Datasets generated by biotic monitoring will use a toolbox approach to address:
• SWMP Mission – short-term variability & long-term change
• Questions of national, regional, & local significance
Definitions:
Tools = written protocol for assessment and monitoring of particular sub-units of the estuarine biotic community
Toolbox = collection of written protocols, tailored to address the balance between system-wide standardization and site-based flexibility
Flexible Approach = NERR sites select proper suite of tools to address question
SWMP Phase II Biomonitoring: A Toolbox Approach
