Ecosystem Dynamics & Trends Across Seven National Estuarine Research Reserves
This resource contains the recording for the student symposium titled "Ecosystem Dynamics & Trends Across Seven National Estuarine Research Reserves," a series of presentations given as part of the 2023 catalyst project "Synthesizing long-term SWMP datasets to quantify estuarine ecosystem dynamics and identify trends along an ecological gradient."
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.
Webinar Summary |
A Collaborative Approach to Advancing Blue Carbon Research and Data Applications
This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the two-part February and March 2024 webinar series, "A Collaborative Approach to Advancing Blue Carbon Research and Data Applications."
Tool |
SWMP Exhibit Guide
This toolkit organizes and consolidates content from a combination of literature reviews, SWMP data interpretation, and interviews and exhibit evaluations at multiple reserves into a comprehensive package of resources that is accessible to all education coordinators and exhibit designers in the Reserve System.

Sneak Peek: Advancing Science Literacy with a System-wide Monitoring Data Exhibit
Project Lead Julie Binz (ACE Basin National Estuarine Research Reserve) gives an introduction to "Advancing Science Literacy with a System-wide Monitoring Data Exhibit," a science transfer project funded in 2021 by the NERRS Science Collaborative. The presentation was given at a virtual project workshop in January 2022.
Factsheet |
A National Synthesis of Tidal Marshes to Detect Impacts of Climate Change across Multiple Scales

This factsheet, written as a resource for a three-year Collaborative Research project, describes measures and proposed management plans for marsh resilience to create a long-term monitoring programs and national-level synthesis efforts.

Can Oyster Aquaculture Help Restore Coastal Water Quality?

This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the May 2021 webinar Can Oyster Aquaculture Help Restore Coastal Water Quality?

Data |
Dataset: Measuring Nitrogen Removal Rates from an Oyster Aquaculture Experiment in Massachusetts

This resource includes links to five datasets generated by a collaborative research project that measured nitrogen removal from oyster aquaculture using complement biogeochemistry and genetic methods.

Journal Article |
Comparison of Oyster Aquaculture Methods and Their Potential to Enhance Microbial Nitrogen Removal from Coastal Ecosystems

This article, published in Frontiers in Marine Science in 2021, describes work done as part of a 2017-2020 collaborative research project conducted at Waquoit Bay Reserve in Massachusetts. The article explores the impacts of oyster aquaculture on nitrogen removal by examining bacterial processes in sediments underlying three of the most common aquaculture methods that vary in the proximity of oysters to the sediments.

Project Overview |
Developing DNA Methods to Monitor Invasive Species and Biodiversity in Estuaries

This project overview describes a 2017 Collaborative Research project that is piloting and refining DNA-based monitoring protocols that can be applied to specific issues and species of interest in estuarine ecosystems.
