Recommendations for the NERRS SWMP, summarizing outputs in an archivable format deemed useful by end users (NERRS research staff).

This 2021 article which appeared in Ecology and Society describes a research project exploring how alders, peatlands, and groundwater flows were incorporated into a spatial tool that was used in case studies with user groups and in outreach efforts. The paper includes evidence that these efforts to engage with stakeholders are resulting in attitudinal shifts as well as on-the-ground changes in peoples ’ decision-making.

This article, published in JGR Oceans in 2020, describes the use of a high-resolution model of water and sediment dynamics used in the Coos Bay estuary in Oregon to assess how 150 years of modification have altered sediment storage and transport.

This article, which appeared in Global Change Biology, discusses findings from a study that quantified total ecosystem carbon stocks of major tidal wetland types in the Pacific Northwest.

This needs assessment of conservation policy stakeholders in the Pacific Northwest identified data needs and barriers for potential blue carbon project partners.

This article uses a hydrodynamic model of the Coos estuary in southwestern Orgeon to examine seasonal variability of salinity dynamics and estuarine exchange flow.

This report provides foundational science and social context to inform the development of adaptation options for a low-lying road in China Camp State Park, along San Francisco Bay, CA.

This article discusses changes to the Coos estuary over the past 150 years, and their present and future impacts.

This summary report discusses key points from focus groups with Kachemak Bay, Alaska fishery industry businesses and stakeholders, conducted as part of a project to provide tools to promote coastal resilience.
