Abstract The Piscataqua Region Estuaries Partnership (PREP), formerly called the New Hampshire Estuaries Project, is part of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agencys (EPAs) 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 estuaries. PREP is housed at and administered through the University of New Hampshire. A 27-person Management Committee oversees the work of the program. The Management Committee has a diverse membership representing municipalities, planning commissions, state and federal natural resource management agencies, watershed groups, non-profit conservation organizations, energy producers, researchers, and fishermen. PREPs first Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan (Management Plan) for New Hampshires estuaries was completed in 2000 and updated in 2005. The Management Plan outlined key issues related to management of New Hampshires estuaries and proposes strategies (Action Plans) to protect, enhance, and monitor the regions estuarine resources. Local stakeholders established PREPs priorities, which include water quality improvements, shellfish resource enhancements, land protection, habitat restoration, and outreach and education. Projects addressing these priorities are undertaken throughout the watershed areas for the Great Bay Estuary, Hampton- Seabrook Estuary, and the New Hampshire Atlantic coast. In addition, PREP implements a comprehensive monitoring program and collects, compiles, and analyzes data for a number of environmental indicators. PREP worked extensively throughout 2009 to develop a comprehensive update of the Management Plan, which is in the final stages of completion and will be formally released in September of 2010. The new Management Plan is intended to guide the work of PREP through 2020.
