Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve

Lake Superior National Estuarine Research Reserve protects where the world’s largest freshwater lake meets the land—a rare freshwater estuary ecosystem most people don’t even know exists. These coastal wetlands, forests, and watersheds are living laboratories studying climate change, water quality, and habitat restoration. It’s not a household name, but it’s doing critical work for the Great Lakes. Rep a reserve that proves conservation and science go hand in hand.
