These middle school lessons discuss ecosystem services and the benefits to people from coastal habitats such as oyster reef and mangrove.

This collection of K-12 lesson plans, compiled by the Native Olympia Oyster Collaborative, features science, math, engineering, writing, art, and multidisciplinary lessons that invite students to explore various aspects of West coast native oysters.

This paper, published in International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, describes results of three different mangrove mapping methods to evaluate the impacts of Hurricane Irma, a Category 3 storm that affected southwest Florida in September of 2017. The approach was tested on a very high resolution WorldView-2 satellite image.

These high school STEM curriculum resources, created as part of the project Bringing Wetlands to Market Phase 2: Expanding Blue Carbon Implementation, examine the relationship between climate change impacts and carbon storage in New England salt marsh.

This article, published in Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment in 2018, synthesizes oyster restoration projects since 1964 on the US Atlantic and Gulf coasts and suggests a restoration paradigm to prioritize investment in sites that maximize economic and ecological benefits and minimize construction costs.

This paper, published in Global Environmental Change, assesses outcomes of co-produced science based on an analysis of National Estuarine Research Reserve System funded projects from 1998 to 2014.

This paper, published in Agricultural and Resource Economics Review, stemmed from work completed as part of the Buffer Options for the Bay project in Great Bay, NH.

The joint probability method (JPM) is the traditional way to determine the base flood elevation due to storm surge, and it usually requires simulation of st

The ocean is inextricably linked to human societies. Climate change and its associated impacts to the aquatic environment pose problems for human communities as well.

This document contains three lesson plans developed as part of a 2016 Collaborative Research project. The lesson plans help students explore the causes and impacts of stormwater discharges.
