Roger Williams To Host Narragansett Bay Estuary Program

Roger Williams University has been chosen as the new home of the Narragansett Bay Estuary Program (NBEP) by their steering committee. This partnership will foster research on local estuaries, wildlife habitat, fish and the people that love to enjoy the outdoor spaces of Rhode Island, most importantly, anglers.

The NBEP is dedicated conducting research that will help maintain and nurture the waters and marshlands of the Rhode Island salt ponds, Narragansett Bay, Little Narragansett Bay and the wildlife that calls these fragile spaces home. In addition, they will also work to protect and maintain recreational spaces for use by anglers, hikers, and other user groups that respectfully enjoy Rhode Island’s outdoor spaces. The partnership officially began on October 1.
