About this museum

What is North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserve?

The estuarine system of the North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserve is the third largest in the country, encompassing more the 44,000 acres (18,000 ha). This system is of prime economic importance to the coastal area—90 percent of the commercial seafood species caught in the state spends at least part of their lives in an estuary. The North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserve was established to preserve these fragile natural areas and the variety of life they support.
