Cultural ecosystem services (CES), one of four main categories of ecosystem services, are often described as the non-material benefits that humans receive from their interactions with the environment.

Research staff from 12 reserves assessed sensor performance by comparing field and laboratory sensor measurements to concentrations of chlorophyll extracted from water samples.

Project Lead Nikki Dix (Guana Tolomato Matanzas National Estuarine Research Reserve) gives a 5-minute introduction to "Refining Techniques for High-frequency Monitoring of Chlorophyll Alpha in the NERRS," a catalyst project funded in 2020 by the NERRS Science Collaborative.

This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the April 2022 webinar "Refining Techniques for High-Frequency Monitoring of Chlorophyll."

This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the June 2021 webinar Margaret A. Davidson Graduate Fellowship: A Collaborative Graduate Fellowship to Address Coastal Challenges.

This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the November 2020 webinar Measuring Climate Adaptation Success and Progress: Introduction to the Resilience Metrics Toolkit

eDNA (environmental DNA) refers to the genetic material found in an environmental sample (water or sediment). eDNA comes from feces, gametes, scales, and cells that an organism sheds, and is easily collected from water and sediment samples.

To foster greater engagement in science learning among deaf and hard of hearing K-12 students and increase the number of deaf people entering science professions, The Learning Center for the Deaf, Boston University, and three national estuarine research reserves in New England collaborated to dev
