🌊 CERF has a new mission! 🌊 Our updated mission reflects our values, vision & commitment to equity, inclusion, and coastal stewardship. Thanks to the members who shaped this future! 💙
⏰ Reminder: Help us create connections that advance coastal and estuarine science and stewardship by providing input on our new online communities! Our 5-minute survey closes soon. Your input shapes our new platform: ow.ly/HOBz50WXgiF
For #InternationalTranslationDay, check out Spanish-language resources on coastal resilience—created with input from Hispanic community members. From disaster preparedness to public health, these tools reflect priorities people shared in our focus groups. loom.ly/TvZpsaU
We’re proud to partner with eco magazine as a media partner for CERF 2025. From chemistry and engineering to biology and physics to statistics and ecology, and more, you’ll find a healthy mix of disciplines at every turn in their Autumn edition. 🔗 ow.ly/Ibqv50X39gY
Thank you for joining us for National #EstuariesWeek! We hope you learned some fun new facts and better appreciate the value of these important systems. Follow us all year to learn more about #estuaries! #CERFscience #EstuaryLove #WadeIn
🌍 Estuarine wetlands sequester carbon annually at a rate 10x greater than tropical forests & store 2-5x more carbon per equivalent area than tropical forests! They store massive amounts of carbon, helping fight climate change. #EstuariesWeek #WadeIn #BlueCarbon #ClimateAction
Let's celebrate our estuaries! What's your favorite estuary? Comment and let us know! Even better, post a photo or video and tag us! #EstuariesWeek #EstuaryLove #WadeIn
🐠 75% of commercial fish species depend on estuaries at some point in their lives! These "nurseries of the sea" provide safe havens for young fish, crabs, & shellfish to grow before heading to the ocean. No estuaries = no seafood! 🦐 #EstuariesWeek #EstuarineNursery #Seafood

Nonstop seagrass labwork for blue carbon 🌊🌿 Apparently, seagrasses store potential amounts of atmospheric carbon to mitigate climate change. Despite their high value, this ecosystem is threatened by the climate crisis and anthropogenic factors. ~Zostera marina in the pic
This #EstuariesWeek, let's talk living shorelines - innovative solutions that protect coasts while supporting vibrant ecosystems. It's protection that works with nature, not against it. Join RAE and @SavetheSound at the Living Shoreline Workshop 10/29-30 buff.ly/I2xrMEz
From kayaking to long walks on the beach, playing on the rocks to sailing down the river in a tub (?!) reserves are the perfect place to play! Congrats to the winners from the “Play” category! 📸 1: Chris Bowser 📸 2: Justin Ridge coast.noaa.gov/nerrs/about/ph… #EstuariesWeek #WadeIn
Join our team. Louisiana Sea Grant has an opening for an Oyster Hatchery Research Lab Manager. Visit tinyurl.com/3wtkx55a for more information.
Why are estuaries called the “nurseries of the sea”? Because their calm, protected waters and abundant food sources make them perfect places for so many species to reproduce and spend the early part of their lives! 🐟🦀🦪 fisheries.noaa.gov/feature-story/… #EstuariesWeek
#DidYouKnow? Estuaries provide critical habitat, filter pollutants, and reduce flooding to protect our coastal communities. 🌊 Healthy estuaries are a critical piece of coastal resilience. ⭐ ASBPA’s efforts complement healthy estuaries in building coastal resilience.
What do the Ancient Sumerian city of Ur, Ancient Egyptian city of Memphis, and modern-day Baltimore, Maryland, have in common? They were built along #estuaries! Fertile soil, abundant wildlife, and freshwater near estuaries have been a bedrock of human civilization for millennia.
📸 From birdwatching to kayaking, estuaries attract millions of tourists each year! These biodiverse hotspots offer world-class recreation & contribute billions to local economies. Pack your binoculars and explore an estuary near you! 🦅⛵ #EstuariesWeek #EcoTourism #NatureLovers
Estuaries come in different shapes and sizes. Geologically there are 5 different types of estuaries; the majority of estuaries located on the US Atlantic and Gulf coasts are coastal plain, bar built, or deltaic. What kind of estuary do you have near you? #EstuaryLove #WadeIn
🛡️ Estuaries are our coastal communities' first line of defense! Habitats such as salt marshes, coral reefs, & mangroves can reduce storm surge heights & wave energy. Mother Nature's own flood protection system at work! #EstuariesWeek #WadeIn #CoastalResilience #ClimateAdaptation
TODAY - Join experts on RV Point Sur to learn how Gulf conditions change throughout the year, and why studying these patterns helps inform restoration efforts. Tune in for a LIVE discussion at sea on 9/23 at 1 p.m. EDT/12 p.m. CDT: oceanexplorer.noaa.gov/news/mdbc-live…
