This document summarizes stakeholder information collected by the Kachemak Bay Reserve to gain insight into community priorities related to climate adaptation.

This 2017 article appeared in the journal Ecology, and presents findings from a study assessing the individual and synergistic effects of air temperature and salinity on Olympia oyster mortality across temporal patterns that accurately reflect the natural environment.

This 2016 journal article was published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B. The study highlights how extreme precipitation events in 2011 may have contributed to near 100% mass mortality of wild oysters in northern San Francisco Bay.

This journal article was published in Estuaries and Coasts in 2016, and decribes a study of how seasonal changes in temperature and salinity impact larval Olympia oyster recruitment across a range of sites and time intervals.

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 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 video discusses a 2010 Collaborative Research project led by Kachemak Bay Reserve that addressed a land-level change question that was shaped by the local community.

This video describes how the Kachemak Bay Reserve integrated a diverse group of stakeholders into their 2010 Collaborative Research project, which established a monitoring program to assess changes in land and sea levels in the coastal landscape.

This video describes how the Kachemak Bay Reserve engaged its local community in coastal habitat monitoring during their 2010 Collaborative Research project.
