Estuaries support wildlife, protect our communities from storms and flooding, and provide some of Earth's most productive ecosystems. So in honor of National Estuaries Week, we're spotlighting these natural treasures like South Slough Reserveš
Did you know the very first reserve in the country designated under the National Estuarine Research Reserve System is right here on Oregonās Adventure Coast: Coos Bay, North Bend, Charleston?
Established in 1974, the South Slough NERR is an ideal destination for visitors and locals to find peace and reconnect with nature along their well-maintained hiking trails, paddle the water trails, or stop by the Visitor Center to learn about ongoing research and restoration work. Itās a destination for everyone.
