Project Lead Chris Biggs gives a 5-minute introduction to "Listen In: Acoustic Monitoring of Estuarine Communities Facing Ecosystem Change," a catalyst project funded in 2020 by the NERRS Science Collaborative.

This table summarizes the key findings related to the fish capture, transport and husbandry practices tested in the 2020 catalyst project led by the Kachemak Bay Reserve to catalyze future research on the mechanisms of paralytic shellfish toxin transfer from forage fish to upper trophic populations.

A project team at the San Francisco Bay NERR is researching road modification options for a flood-prone stretch of North San Pedro Road, which runs through China Camp State Park in San Rafael.

A project team at the San Francisco Bay NERR is working with various stakeholders to design a road modification project in China Camp State Park. Road modification is necessary for the community to maintain road access to and through the park as sea level rise continues to threaten low-

China Camp State Park is one of the few remaining ecologically intact landscapes of the San Francisco Estuary, but the region is becoming increasingly vulnerable to sea-level rise.

Staff from the Kachemak Bay NERR expanded research collaborations and completed proof of concept activities to catalyze future research on the mechanisms of paralytic shellfish toxin transfer from forage fish to upper trophic populations– an increasing concern after statewide seabird die-offs and

A peer-reviewed article describing the potential link between water temperature variability and eelgrass loss in the Coos Estuary of southwest Oregon.

A peer-reviewed article describing several of the biosensor tools and the design process used to build them, as part of the 2021 Collaborative Research project incorporating bivalve biosensors into estuary monitoring infrastructure. 

Project Lead Samantha Chapman (Villanova University) gives a 5-minute introduction to "Experimenting with Elevation: Building a New Collaboration to Explore Management Options for Wetland Elevation Maintenance," a catalyst project funded in 2020 by the NERRS Science Collaborative.
