Buzzard Bay

The Buzzards Bay National Estuary Program (NEP) is dedicated to the protection and restoration of water quality and living resources in Buzzards Bay and its watershed. Established in 1985, the NEP facilitates the implementation of the Buzzards Bay Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan through collaborations with municipalities, state agencies, and environmental nonprofits.

By providing grants, technical assistance, and resources, the NEP supports local boards of health, conservation commissions, and public works departments in their efforts to improve environmental health. The program emphasizes a non-regulatory and science-based approach to address issues such as nutrient management, stormwater remediation, and wetland protection.
