Narragansett Bay Estuary Program is glad to announce Roger Williams University as our new host agency

The timing of the partnership is opportune, as RWU and NBEP both are undergoing strategic planning. The university is looking to deepen its work in the blue economy, drawing upon expertise across multiple fields of study to solve the complex environmental and coastal issues facing us regionally and nationally. At the same time, the estuary program is seeking community input for its Vision 2032 plan, a framework of actions that prioritizes climate resilience, sustainability and equity that NBEP and its partners intend to complete within 10 years. 

RWU was chosen as the NBEP’s home through an exhaustive selection process of EPA and NBEP Steering Committee members representing diverse interests. EPA’s National Estuary Program will provide the university with annual grant funding to administer the program.
