The Buzzards Bay National Estuary Program (NEP) is dedicated to protecting and restoring the water quality and living resources in Buzzards Bay and its watershed, operating under the guidance of the Buzzards Bay Comprehensive Conservation and Management Plan established in 1985. Comprising a coalition of federal and state agencies, regional planning organizations, and non-profits, the program is funded by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and aligns with Massachusetts' Office of Coastal Zone Management.
The NEP focuses on various environmental initiatives, including managing nitrogen pollution, enhancing wetlands protection, and monitoring coastal habitats. Their collaborative efforts cater to the needs of disadvantaged communities and aim to foster sustainable environmental practices through targeted action plans and educational resources.
