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.

This report summarizes the results of a multi-year collaborative research project that evaluated a range of living shoreline projects in South Carolina. The results and guidance are intended to provide agency partners with the science-based information to create a regulatory pathway and develop project standards for living shorelines in South Carolina.

This collection features living shorelines work completed by project teams from 2015-2019. The collection includes a detailed management brief narrative, an infographic showing different shoreline stabilization strategies and how they vary across locations in order to suit the conditions present, and a webinar recording from a panel discussion on April 11, 2019.
This webinar, part of NOAA and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Restoration Webinar Series, describes how the ACE Basin Reserve expanded living shorelines within the reserve to reduce climate change vulnerability.
