These case studies, part of a Resilience Metrics toolkit, show how particular communities have defined and tracked their progress on climate adaptation goals.

This climate adaptation planning toolkit compiles lessons learned by five National Estuarine Research Reserves. It is designed to help communities set goals and identify specific indicators to evaluate progress toward a climate resilient future.

This paper, published in International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, describes results of three different mangrove mapping methods to evaluate the impacts of Hurricane Irma, a Category 3 storm that affected southwest Florida in September of 2017. The approach was tested on a very high resolution WorldView-2 satellite image.

This logic model describes research objectives for a project to assess the potential for blue carbon in the Kenai Lowlands, Alaska.

These GIS-generated maps show peatlands by major land owners in the Kenai Lowlands, Alaska region.

Mangroves and other habitats in Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve have been changing as a result of chronic stressors and severe hurricanes in recent years.

This training manual provides a step-by-step guide to create habitat maps using WorldView and Landsat satellite imagery.

This story map explains mangrove habitat change at the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve from 2010-2018, illustrating mangrove damage and recovery from Hurricane Irma.

The Fisheries Resilience Index is a self-assessment tool developed for Alaska fishery industry leaders and businesses.

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.
