GTMNERR Visiting Investigator Registration

To safely accommodate the existing, and growing, population of visiting investigators, the Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve (GTMNERR) requires investigators to submit this registration form. The Research Coordinator will review your submission and provide feedback to maximize the success of your research within the Reserve. Please complete this form at least one month prior to your visit and update annually. 

This registration form allows visiting investigators to request staff assistance, facilities and/or equipment to make time spent at the Reserve as efficient and productive as possible. In addition, it serves to help catalog the types of research activities, locations of study sites, techniques used and any reports/manuscripts generated at the GTMNERR. Project descriptions will be entered into the NERRS Research Database, which is accessible to NERRS staff around the country. Review by the Research Coordinator also helps avoid conflicts with another researcher’s activities and the Reserve’s management practices (e.g. prescribed fire). 

This form does not substitute for other State or Federal permits that may be required.
