Talk NERRdy to Me is a monthly column about leaders and luminaries from across our Reserves. In this issues, the National Estuarine Research Reserve Association’s roving reporter Nik Charov spoke with Kevin O’Brien, supervising environmental analyst, and Jamie Vaudrey, the first research coordinator at the newly designated Connecticut Reserve. They talked about why the mouth of the Connecticut River doesn’t have a city on it, some do’s and don’ts of the designation process, and why the Long Island Sound isn’t as boring as it sounds.
