This project overview describes a 2018 Science Transfer project where three Northeast reserves are collaborating to develop consensus-based recommendations for pollutant load reduction performance curves to help New Hampshire communities use buffers to meet in-stream pollution reduction targets.

This project overview describes a 2018 Catalyst project led by the University of New Hampshire that is synthesizing salt marsh vegetation and elevation data to improve coastal wetland management in New England.

These slides summarize a webinar given by Jennifer Plunket of the North Inlet-Winyah Nay Reserve and Robin Weber of the Narragansett Bay Reserve on July 17, 2018 summarizing results from their assessments using the Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment Tool for Coastal Habitats (CCVATCH).

Eleven projects have been recommended for funding by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) Science Collaborative.

This 2017 article appeared in the journal Ecology, and presents findings from a study assessing the individual and synergistic effects of air temperature and salinity on Olympia oyster mortality across temporal patterns that accurately reflect the natural environment.

Over $2.6 million will be awarded to six projects by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative that engage research efforts on 12 reserves across the nation.

Nearly $400,000 will be awarded by NOAA ’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative, managed by University of Michigan Water Center, to four projects involving 15 reserve sites across the nation.

NOAA ’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative, managed by University of Michigan Water Center, is pleased to announce the outcome of the 2017 Science Transfer competition.

This 2016 journal article was published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The study highlights how extreme precipitation events in 2011 may have contributed to near 100% mass mortality of wild oysters in northern San Francisco Bay.

This lesson plan helps teachers and students understand the concept of blue carbon and the impacts of sea level rise on salt marshes.
