BTNEP and our partner organizations conduct research to support the development of the Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan.
These resulting reports are useful tools in understanding the complex social and ecological dynamics within the estuary. Today, BTNEP continues to work to develop publications that help to inform residents, industry, and planners.
