The funding for the National Estuarine Research Reserve System has been increased by Congress and this is good news for our local GTM Research Reserve.
The letters and postcards that were sent to state legislators had an impact on the funding decision.
"Thanks to all of you who reached out to our legislators and shared why the GTM Research Reserve is important to you," said Ellen M. Leroy-Reed, executive director of Friends of the GTM Reserve. "It is our responsibility to let them know we support their actions to help fund places like the GTM Research Reserve. So, please keep sending your postcards!"
Action News Jax and Cox Conserves are proud partners of the Friends of the GTM Reserve. This summer, we will again host our Adopt-A-Nest sea turtle campaign to support our local area sea turtle conservation and research efforts. You can find out more about Adopt-A-Nest by clicking here.
