Connect to Protect Outreach Materials
This resource contains the outreach materials developed and used during the Connect to Protect project. The project transferred conservation science from the 2021 New Hampshire Coastal Watershed Conservation Plan to help protect and restore estuarine systems in the Piscataqua watershed region using an ecosystem services approach.

Evaluating Thin-Layer Sediment Placement as a Tool for Enhancing Tidal Marsh Resilience: a Coordinated Experiment Across Eight US National Estuarine Research Reserves
Abstract

Thin-layer sediment placement (TLP) is a promising management tool for enhancing tidal marsh resilience to rising seas.

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.

Coastal marshes provide valuable protection for coastal communities from storm-induced wave, flood, and structural loss in a changing climate

This 2022 paper which appeared in Nature discusses a modeling approach to examine the marsh ’s buffering capacity in a changing climate (from 2020 to 2100), considering a potential marsh restoration plan (from 2020 to 2025) and potential marsh loss due to sea-level rise.
