This guide, developed as part of a 2013 Collaborative Research project, includes simple projects that homeowners can undertake to reduce pollution from their yards.

Oysters are the tiny superheroes of coastal environments. They enhance water quality, create habitat, and protect shorelines from storms and erosion. Along the Pacific Coast, native oysters are in decline, due in part to sedimentation, inadequate protection, and unsustainable harvests.

This project overview describes a 2013 Collaborative Research project in which a diverse team collaborated to reduce the volume of polluted stormwater runoff in southeast coastal North Carolina.

This project overview describes a 2013 project that created an online portal for scientists and fisheries managers to share and use data on larval fish recruitment and environmental variables.

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 project overview describes a 2016-2020 Collaborative Research project that conducted a comprehensive, collaboratively-designed assessment of stormwater impacts on the Rachel Carson component of the North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserve.
