National Estuarine Research Reserve 

System 

AGENCY: Estuarine Reserves Division, 

Office of Ocean and Coastal Resource 

Management, National Ocean Service, 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric 

Administration, U.S. Department of 

Commerce 

ACTION: Notice of Final Approval and 

Availability of Revised Management 

Plans for the following National 

Estuarine Research Reserves: Arraigns 

Bay, RI and Tijuana River, CA. 

SUMMARY: Notice is hereby given that 

the Estuarine Reserves Division, Office 

of Ocean and Coastal Resource 

Management, National Ocean Service, 

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 http:// 

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.
