GUIDE CASE STUDY: A logic model can clearly and concisely communicate your project’s goals, objectives, resources, and outcomes to the larger team and your stakeholders. The Our Coast, Our Future project team developed a logic model so that the stakeholders they had engaged in the process could see how the project fit into the complex and dynamic coastal management situation in California.
These four case studies give examples of four best practices for conflict management in collaborative science. They were developed as part of the Resilience Dialogues project to share lessons learned about effective collaboration from within the National Estuarine Research Reserve System.

This project overview describes a 2018 catalyst project led by the San Francisco Bay Reserve that brought together key stakeholders and decision makers to advance adaptation planning for a low-lying coastal road at China Camp State Park.
This collection features climate resilience and adaptation work completed by project teams from 2015-2018. The collection includes a detailed management brief narrative, an infographic showing how the interconnected nature of the NERRS facilitates collective learning and accelerated action, and a webinar recording from a panel discussion on September 9, 2019.
