About Science Collaborative

Who We Are

The NERRS Science Collaborative was established in 2009 through a five-year cooperative agreement between NOAA and the University of New Hampshire (UNH). The Science Collaborative’s six core UNH staff of scientists, educators, and communicators work closely with their colleagues in NOAA’s Estuarine Reserve Division and the managers and staff of Reserves around the country on all aspects of our program. We welcome any questions you have about our program and the science we fund.
