CBNERRVA Reserve Sites

As the nation's largest estuary, the Chesapeake Bay contains a diverse collection of habitats and salinity regimes. In order to address the diversity of habitats in the southern Chesapeake Bay subregion, CBNERRVA established a multi-site system along the salinity gradient of the York River estuary. Reserve components include Sweet Hall Marsh, Taskinas Creek, Catlett Island, and Goodwin Islands.
