National Program Results
NEPs
have made substantial progress in protecting and restoring habitats in
their estuaries. The habitat efforts carried out by the NEPs and their
partners have yielded measurable environmental results. Not only do
these projects improve coastal habitats directly, but the water quality
in these estuaries, their wetlands, and rivers and streams, thereby
benefiting birds, shellfish, and other species living there.
Annual NEP Habitat Efforts
National
Estuary Programs restored and protected over 1.3 million acres since
2000. Annual acreage numbers vary due to many factors such as funds
available, weather conditions, negotiations with land owners, length of
time to get a permit, and availability of plant materials among many
others.
