Weeks Bay is a small estuary in south Baldwin County connected to Mobile Bay by a narrow inlet. The reserve, established in 1986, is comprised of 3,028 acres of land and water owned by the State of Alabama. It provides a place where scientific researchers and the general public can study and observe estuarine ecology in a protected natural setting (Annual Report, 1989). The Weeks Bay Estuarine Reserve is funded through ADECA by grant from the National Oceanic Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), U.S. Department of Commerce. Onsite management is contracted to the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources. This series consists of project files created during the development and administration of the reserve. Typical records located in these files include technical assistance reports, impact studies, photographs, maps, drawings, memoranda of agreement, contracts, progress reports, and related correspondence. Information in this series consists of details of efforts to maintain plant and wildlife, construction of walkways and facilities for the public, data on the impact of surrounding urban areas, and general maintenance.
