This website contains information and resources from a 2012 Collaborative Research project that sought to reduce the vulnerabilities of Maryland's Deal Island Peninsula area to the impacts of climate change by creating partnerships between communities, decision-makers, and scientists.

This project overview describes a 2012 Collaborative Research project that worked to enhance resilience on Maryland's Deal Island by building a stakeholder network and integrating research to understand how different management practices will impact marsh and community resilience.

This document summarizes a tool developed by the NERRS to evaluate and compare the ability of tidal marshes to thrive as sea level rises.

This paper, published in Biological Conservation, describes an innovative approach developed by the NERRS to evaluate the ability of tidal marshes to thrive as sea levels rise.

This tool is a novel approach to compare the resilience of different marshes to sea level rise.

This code (R and MATLAB) can be used to analyze NERRS System-Wide Monitoring Program time series data.

This project overview describes a 2015 Science Transfer project that produced tools, graphical support, and training for research staff at the Mid-Atlantic reserves to better utilize reserve monitoring data.

This project overview describes a 2017 Collaborative Research project that tested the effectiveness of thin-layer sediment placement as a marsh adaptation strategy.

Over $2.6 million will be awarded to six projects by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative that engage research efforts on 12 reserves across the nation.
