Sneak Peek: Bringing Plant-Scale Knowledge to Shoreline Habitat Practitioners in the Lake Superior Basin
Project lead Karina Heim gives a short introduction to "Greener Shores: Bringing Plant-scale Knowledge to Shoreline Habitat Practitioners in the Lake Superior (Gichigami) Basin."
Case Study |
Case Study: Begin planning early for next steps
GUIDE CASE STUDY: Collaborative science projects are designed to inform and catalyze action, but often those impacts do not develop until after a grant ends. Two project teams working with New England reserves found different ways to support the work of their partners after their grants ended.

Lake Superior NERR Digital Site Profile
Each National Estuarine Research Reserve develops a site profile synthesizing knowledge about its physical, historical, social and biological characteristics to guide research activities. This digital site profile helps users orient to the Lake Superior Reserve and understand its context.

Guide Resource: Example Action Plan for Buffers
GUIDE RESOURCE: This action plan, which emerged through user engagement around the Great Bay Estuary, provides an example of how planning early for end-of-project transitions can successfully fuel future projects with partners.
Case Study |
Case Study: Adjusting to respect different ways of knowing
GUIDE CASE STUDY: To help elevate the cultural significance of plants and preserve their knowledge, Indigenous knowledge holders agreed to advise a project team as they developed a planting guide for the Gichi-gami basin. As discussions began, the team quickly discovered differing expectations about what and how Indigenous knowledge would inform the final guide.

Pollutant Removal Credits for Buffers

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.
