This factsheet discusses the potential for gabion-breaks and other living shorelines to dissipate boat wakes and protect shorelines.

These factsheets provide information on wetland plants that may be used for shoreline restoration projects. Each plant factsheet includes pictures, listed environmental tolerances, informational websites, and helpful tips for planting.

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 experimental study by Ada Bersoza Hernández and Christine Angelini informs the design of more durable wooden stabilization structures in coastal environments.

This article, published in Sustainability in 2018, characterizes the boat wake climate in Florida's Intracoastal Waterway, assesses the area's bathymetry, and anticipates the effects of experimental living shorelines (natural breakwall and oyster restoration structures) on facilitating sediment deposition and slowing vegetation retreat.

This article describes a 2013 Collaborative Research project in Exeter, NH that studied adaptive governance and climate change adaptation planning by evaluating stakeholder involvement in a local institutional setting.

This paper, published in Biological Conservation, describes an innovative approach developed by the NERRS to evaluate the ability of tidal marshes to thrive as sea levels rise.

This paper details findings presented at the U.S.-Iran Symposium on Wetlands in March 2016 about the increasing watershed influence and hypo-salinity in Los Penasquitos Lagoon.

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.

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.
