Revisions of the North Inlet-Winyah Bay
National Estuarine Research Reserve
and San Francisco Bay National
Estuarine Research Reserve.
The revised management plan for the
North Inlet-Winyah Bay, SC National
Estuarine Research Reserve outlines the
administrative structure; the education,
training, stewardship, and research
programs of the reserve; and the plans
for future land acquisition and facility
development to support reserve
operations. The goals described in this
plan provide a framework that supports
program integration based on priority
issues defined by the reserve. The
objectives described in this plan address
the most critical coastal issues in North
Inlet-Winyah Bay such as impacts from
coastal and watershed development,
climate events on coastal ecosystems
and human communities, and invasive
species and habitat loss impacts on
biodiversity.
Since the last approved management
plan in 1992, 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
emergent marsh vegetation, invasive
species, water quality, and bird
populations. In addition to
programmatic and staffing advances, the
reserve upgraded its headquarters
building with a 4,500 square foot
structure to support research,
stewardship, and the coastal training
programs that includes six offices, a
monitoring lab, and library. In
cooperation with the Belle W. Baruch
Foundation, a 12,500 square foot
education facility was developed to
support reserve educational programs
and includes interpretive exhibits,
aquaria, classrooms, and education staff
offices, as well as an outdoor classroom.
This plan can be accessed at https://
www.northinlet.sc.edu.
The revised management plan for the
San Francisco Bay National Estuarine
Research Reserve outlines a framework
of overarching goals and program
specific objectives that will guide the
education, training, research, and
developing stewardship programs of the
reserve; describes land acquisition and
boundary expansion; as well as outlines
plans for facility use and development
to support reserve operations. The goals
and objectives put forth in this plan
focus programmatic efforts on four
critical issues that affect the reserve’s
ability to conserve ecological
communities in support of the Bay’s
growing population: Climate change,
species interactions, water quality, and
habitat restoration. Broadly, the goals
for each of these issues include

increasing knowledge, understanding
effects, and improving the ability of
partners and stakeholders to respond to
these issues. The goals described in this
plan provide a framework that supports
program integration for collaborative
management of the San Francisco Bay
National Estuarine Research Reserve.
Since the last approved management
plan in 2003, the reserve has hired a full
complement of core staff; established a
research lab, fully operational Systemwide Monitoring Program, and Graduate
Research Fellowship Program; added a
Coastal Training Program that delivers
science-based information to key
decision makers; developed education
programs focused on sharing estuarine
research with non-academic audiences;
and constructed facilities to support
essential functions of the reserve at its
headquarters on the Romberg Tiburon
Center campus of San Francisco State
University. These facilities include
office space for staff, classroom space,
laboratory, and meeting facilities. The
reserve has also constructed facilities
and interpretive exhibits at its
components sites, China Camp State
Park and Rush Ranch Open Space
Preserve, that support on-site research
and educational programs. This plan
