This guide is designed to be a resource for current and potential oyster growers that want to understand and maximize the water quality benefits of their aquaculture operations.

This project overview describes a 2017 Collaborative Research project that explores how oyster aquaculture practices may be used to remediate water quality in Cape Cod, Massachusetts.

This technical memo presents guidelines for calculating the pollutant removal rate of restored or constructed buffers established on shorelines with different soils, slopes and buffer widths. This tool can help New England communities use buffers to meet water quality standards and fulfill stormwater permitting requirements.

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.
