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.

Case Study: Resolving Conflict
GUIDE CASE STUDY: Collaboration with diverse team members and stakeholders can sometimes result in disagreements or contention, as was the experience of the New England Climate Adaptation Project, a regional initiative involving the four New England reserves.

Case study: Including community leaders on the team
GUIDE CASE STUDY: To be effective, collaborative project teams must include the right skill sets, but it’s also important to include team members who have established relationships with or access to your project’s intended users.
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.

SETr: Developing Tools and Visualizations to Track Changes in Wetland Surface Elevation

This project overview describes a 2018 Catalyst project led by Grand Bay Reserve that developed standardized tools to quality-check, analyze, and visualize Surface Elevation Table data.

Case Study |
Best Practices for Conflict Management in Collaborative Science

These four case studies give examples of four best practices for conflict management in collaborative science. They were developed as part of the Resilience Dialogues project to share lessons learned about effective collaboration from within the National Estuarine Research Reserve System.

Project Overview |
Exploring Applications of Ecosystem Service Conceptual Models for Coastal Habitats

This project overview describes a 2018 Catalyst project where researchers from Duke University and the North Carolina and Rookery Bay reserves partnered to develop ecosystem services models for coastal habitats.

Project Overview |
Effects of Sea Level Rise on New England Salt Marshes: A Workshop Led by the New England NERRs

This project overview describes a 2017-18 science transfer project led by the Narragansett Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve that developed a regional workshop to build capacity for New England salt marsh resilience.

Case Study |
Florida Mangrove Restoration Ecosystem Services

This case study discusses an example of an Ecosystem Services Conceptual Model for mangrove habitat restoration at Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Florida.

Project Overview |
Using Advanced Mapping to Measure Changes in Mangrove and Seagrass Habitat over Time

This project overview describes a 2018 Catalyst project where Rookery Bay Reserve staff and University of South Florida researchers are partnered to update and create maps of mangrove habitat to measure changes over time.
