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.

Effects of Storm Surge Barrier Closures on Estuary Saltwater Intrusion and Stratification
Abstract

Gated storm surge barriers have been constructed or proposed in many estuaries worldwide for coastal flood risk reduction.

Increased Utilization of Storm Surge Barriers: A Research Agenda on Estuary Impacts
Abstract

Rising coastal flood risk and recent disasters are driving interest in the construction of gated storm surge barriers worldwide, with current studies recommending barriers for at least 11 estuaries in the United States alone.

Datasets for Refining Techniques for High-Frequency Monitoring of Chlorophyll
About this project

The 2020-2021 catalyst project Refining Techniques for High-Frequency Monitoring of Chlorophyll in the NERRS brought together twelve biogeochemically diverse reserves to compare results from new YSI in situ sensor technology with ex

Fact Sheet: Recommendations for Chlorophyll Monitoring in the NERRS
About the project

A multi-Reserve study explored the feasibility of including high frequency, in situ chlorophyll a monitoring in the National Estuarine Research Reserve System-wide Monitoring Program (NERR SWMP).

Tool |
Repository for chlorophyll a sensor modeling workflow

With funding from the NERRS Science Collaborative, scientists from 12 biogeographically diverse Reserves compared fluorescence measurements taken by the YSI EXO TAL sensor to extracted chlorophyll concentrations processed in the lab.

Tool |
Protocols for calibrating and managing chlorophyll in situ and extraction sensor readings

Standardized protocols for sensor-based chlorophyll monitoring are now available for use by staff around the system to implement high frequency chlorophyll monitoring at their reserves.
