Abstract
The New Hampshire Estuaries Project (NHEP) is part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys (EPA) National Estuary Program which is a joint local/state/federal program established under the Clean Water Act with the goal of protecting and enhancing nationally significant estuarine resources.The NHEP receives its funding from EPA and is administered by the New Hampshire Office of State Planning and Energy Programs. The NHEPs Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan for New Hampshires estuaries was completed in 2000 and implementation has been ongoing.The Management Plan outlines key issues related to management of New Hampshires estuaries and proposes strategies (Action Plans) that are expected to preserve, protect, and enhance the States estuarine resources. The NHEPs priorities were established by local stakeholders and include water quality improvements, shellfish resource enhancements, land protection, and habitat restoration. Projects addressing these priorities are undertaken throughout New Hampshires coastal watershed, which includes 42 communities.
