About the GTM Reserve

• The GTM Reserve (Guana - Tolomato - Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve) was established in 1999.
• The reserve contains over 60,000 acres of protected lands.
• The coastal waters of the GTM Reserve are important calving grounds for the endangered North Atlantic Right Whale.
• The Reserve is geographically separated into a northern section where the Tolomato and Guana Rivers mix with the waters of the Atlantic Ocean, and a southern section along the Matanzas River, extending from Moses Creek to south of Pellicer Creek.
• The GTM Reserve contains 14 conservation areas, cooperatively managed by local, state and federal agencies.
