" The Narragansett Bay Estuary Program is one of 28 programs designated as “estuaries of national significance” under the National Estuary Program. The program helps protect and restore the waters of the Narragansett Bay itself as well as the 1 million acres of land that surround and drain into the Bay. In 2015, the Estuary Program celebrated 30 years of successful nature protection and wildlife conservation of the Narragansett Bay watershed."
