The National Estuary Program (NEP) is a very successful community-based program designed to restore and maintain the ecological integrity of estuaries of national significance. There are 28 NEPs, each with a Director and staff, working with local stakeholders to improve the health of their estuary - it’s waters, habitats, and living resources.
Established under the 1987 Clean Water Act Amendments, the NEP is a unique voluntary program that operates through partnerships among EPA and other Federal, State, and local organizations; industry; academia; environmental and business groups; and community residents. Each NEP works using an inclusive collaborative decision-making process to deliver on-the-ground action making the NEP an important model for protection and management of coastal and non-coastal watersheds.
