Established in 1979, Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve is located on the Florida panhandle between Tallahassee and Panama City. The Reserve boundaries include over 246,000 acres of the Apalachicola River and Bay watershed, in the southern part of the Apalachicola-Chattahoochee-Flint watershed. Apalachicola Bay is an exceptionally important nursery area for the Gulf of Mexico. Over 95% of all species harvested commercially and 85% of all species harvested recreationally in the open Gulf have spent a portion of their life in estuarine waters. Blue crabs, for example, migrate up to 300 miles to spawn in Apalachicola Bay. Map Us | Visit Our Website
