Seventeen projects involving 27 reserves across the nation and totaling more than $2 million have been recommended for support by NOAA’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) Science Collaborative.

This project overview describes a 2018 Catalyst project led by Grand Bay Reserve that developed standardized tools to quality-check, analyze, and visualize Surface Elevation Table data.

This project overview describes a 2017 science transfer project that developed a risk communication training for reserves to build risk communication capacity in four coastal communities.

This project overview describes a 2012 Collaborative Research project that assessed the ability and cost-effectiveness of marsh restoration designs to remove nitrogen pollution from stormwater runoff.

This project overview describes a Collaborative Research project that evaluated several coastal restoration designs at the Weeks Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve.

This project overview describes a 2015 Science Transfer project where the four Northeast reserves used CCVATCH to conduct vulnerability assessments of coastal habitats in their reserves.

This project overview describes a 2015 Science Transfer project that developed a Gulf Coast blue carbon network as a platform for information sharing and coordinating efforts to develop blue carbon tools and projects in the region.

NOAA ’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System Science Collaborative, managed by University of Michigan Water Center, is pleased to announce the outcome of the 2017 Science Transfer competition.
