This project overview describes a 2018 Catalyst project where Rookery Bay Reserve staff and University of South Florida researchers are partnered to update and create maps of mangrove habitat to measure changes over time.
This story map explains mangrove habitat change at the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve from 2010-2018, illustrating mangrove damage and recovery from Hurricane Irma.
This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the April 2019 webinar New Research to Inform Living Shoreline Design, Placement and Monitoring.

This collection features living shorelines work completed by project teams from 2015-2019. The collection includes a detailed management brief narrative, an infographic showing different shoreline stabilization strategies and how they vary across locations in order to suit the conditions present, and a webinar recording from a panel discussion on April 11, 2019.
This project overview describes a 2011 Collaborative Research project that developed a science-based framework for stakeholders to use in making decisions about water resource management in the Rookery Bay Estuary.
