NOAA reviews Wells Reserve
The Coastal Zone Management Act, under which the Wells Reserve receives its federal funding, provides for the periodic review of all estuarine research reserves. This week the Wells Reserve hosted four NOAA representatives who assessed operation and management of the Reserve for the period June 2004 to April 2008.
The Section 312 evaluation team will prepare a set of findings that identify successes and areas needing improvement. Early indications suggest the Reserve will receive a positive review. We will notify members when findings become available.
