Great Bay 2030

The vision of Great Bay 2030 is to promote a healthy Great Bay estuary system distinguished by clean water, accessible lands for recreation and education, habitat for fish and wildlife, climate resilience, and engaged communities committed to supporting the watershed for generations to come.

Conservation Law Foundation, Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, The Nature Conservancy of NH, NH Department of Environmental Services, and the Piscataqua Region Estuaries Partnership work collectively to advance this vision.

The New Hampshire Charitable Foundation funds this work.
