Southern California ’s coastal environments are under intense development pressure. In the Tijuana River Valley, this pressure translates into the fragmentation and loss of coastal wetlands that provide invaluable services, such as water quality protection.

This project overview describes a 2012 Collaborative Research project that developed a decision-making framework and tools to guide coastal wetland recovery and management in Southern California.

This document summarizes a tool developed by the NERRS to evaluate and compare the ability of tidal marshes to thrive as sea level rises.

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 tool is a novel approach to compare the resilience of different marshes to sea level rise.

This code (R and MATLAB) can be used to analyze NERRS System-Wide Monitoring Program time series data.

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 technical report analyzes the relationship between dissolved oxygen and mouth condition at the Los Penasquitos Lagoon in southern California.

This document summarizes a workshop hosted by the Tijuana River Reserve and partners in September of 2016 titled "Intermittently Open Estuaries: Science & Management Perspectives."
