National Oceanic and Atmospheric
Administration (NOAA), U.S.
Department of Commerce has approved
the revised management plans of the
Arraigns Bay, RI National Estuarine
Research Reserve and the Tijuana River,
CA National Estuarine Research
Reserve. The Arraigns Bay, RI Reserve
plan calls for an expansion to their
boundary and the Tijuana River, CA
Reserve plan calls for a reduction to
their boundary.
The revised management plan for the
Arraigns Bay, RI National Estuarine
Research Reserve outlines the
administrative structure; the education,
training, stewardship, and research
goals of the reserve; and the plans for
future land acquisition and facility
development to support reserve
operations. The objectives described in
this plan are designed to address the
most critical coastal issues in Arraigns
Bay such as wastewater and storm water
management, coastal and watershed
development, and invasive species
management. Since the last approved
management plan in 1998, the reserve
has become fully staffed; added a
coastal training program that delivers
science-based information to key
decision makers; and added significant
monitoring of invasive species, water
quality, fish and bird populations. In
addition to programmatic and staffing
advances, the reserve upgraded visiting
research facilities, space available for
education and storage, and has
increased the availability of dock space
for research and educational
programming.
This management plan calls for a
boundary expansion of 156 acres. The
lands consist of one 128 acre parcel on
the northern end of Prudence Island that
is adjacent to current reserve property
and the addition of the 28 acre Dyer
Island. Dyer Island habitats include
coastal brush, salt marsh, cobble
beaches, and both hard and soft
substrate submerged lands. The island is
considered a critical bird rookery and
hosts an unusual amount of macro algal
diversity and rare examples of un
ditched salt marsh habitat. The 128 acre
Ballard Property on Prudence Island
consists of forested land with early
succession al shrub land and grassland
communities as well as an important
freshwater creek and the associated
wetlands. The Dyer Island property will
provide opportunities for research and
passive recreation while the easily
accessed Prudence Island parcel will be
appropriate for education, recreation,
and upland research purposes. This
plan can be accessed at https://
www.nbnerr.org or nerrs.noaa.gov.

The revised management plan for the
Tijuana River, CA National Estuarine
Research Reserve outlines a framework
of overarching goals and program
specific objectives that will guide the
education, training, stewardship, and
research programs of the reserve;
updates the reserve boundary; proposes
criteria for boundary expansion
activities through acquisition and/or
mitigation; as well as outlines plans for
facility use and development to support
reserve operations. The goals described
in this plan are designed to provide a
framework that supports program
integration for collaborative
management in a highly urbanized binational watershed.
Since the last approved management
plan in 2000, the reserve has become
fully staffed; added a coastal training
program that delivers science-based
information to key decision makers;
developed a robust volunteer program
that provides broad support to Reserve
programs; added a bi-nationally focused
Watershed Program; completed habitat
restoration projects to improve estuary
function; improved management of
sediment delivery to the estuary; and
constructed facilities to support
essential functions of the reserve
including interpretive structures, staff
offices, and an on-site laboratory.
This management plan amends the
boundary of the reserve to be 2,293
acres, 238 acres less, in part as a result
of excluding the Border Infrastructure
System completed since the last
approved management plan. This plan
can be accessed at trnerr.org/
visitors_center.html or nerrs.noaa.gov.
