This graphic was developed as part of a research project in Cape Cod exploring how much nitrogen is removed from coastal waters by common oyster aquaculture methods, and what culturing practices should be adopted to maximize benefits for water quality.

This Plan is intended to serve as a guide for the towns of Exeter, Stratham and Newfields to support nitrogen load reduction, permit compliance, and ultimately ecosystem recovery in the Great Bay estuary which could fulfill permit requirements for a Nitrogen Control Plan.

This collection of resources from the Water Integration for Squamscott-Exeter (WISE) project in New Hampshire contains a final technical report, presentations, and additional resources related to the project.

This Google map shows sites in New Hampshire's Great Bay watershed that were sampled for nitrogen concentrations in May 2011 as part of a 2010 Collaborative Research project.

As part of the 2010 Hudson River Sustainable Shorelines project, the project team conducted this forensic analysis of six sites on the Hudson River to study how each site responded to severe storms.

This document summarizes communications and mental modeling stream research conducted by a 2010 Collaborative Research team on perceptions, beliefs, and values of riparian ecosystem services and shoreline protection among stakeholders and residents within a Maine watershed.

This webinar discussing economic valuation of ecosystem services was the result of a 2010 Collaborative Research project that studied ecosystem service valuation of southern Maine watersheds.

This report summarizes an analysis of ecosystem service values provided by protection and restoration of riparian land in the Merriland, Branch Brook and Little River (MBLR) watershed in south coastal Maine.

This handbook, the result of a 2010 Collaborative Research project, offers suggestions for practical ways that landowners and land managers can protect shore zones and increase the benefits they provide.

Oysters are the tiny superheroes of coastal environments. They enhance water quality, create habitat, and protect shorelines from storms and erosion. Along the Pacific Coast, native oysters are in decline, due in part to sedimentation, inadequate protection, and unsustainable harvests.
