There are 28 National Estuary Programs (NEPs) in the U.S.that implement habitat protection and restoration projects with their partners. This work takes place within their study area boundaries. NEPmap contains that data from 2009 to the present.
The boundaries are set to create areas for NEPs to study future restoration projects and report their current/completed restoration projects.
