Through a 2020 catalyst project, staff from the South Carolina Department of Natural Resources worked with ACE Basin NERR and U.S.

The National Estuarine Research Reserve System plays an important socio-ecological role for public engagement, science and management focused on key estuarine habitats.

This report summarizes five cultural ecosystem service assessment methods piloted by the 2020 catalyst project, Cultural Ecosystem Services in Estuary Stewardship and Management.

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

This factsheet, developed as part of a 2020 catalyst project, consolidates case studies of applied CES assessments.

This outreach tool summarizes the key takeways for a project that assessed the value of a coastal marsh in protecting coastal communities from storm surge and flooding amid a changing climate.

This factsheet describes the process of environmental DNA (eDNA) water sampling in estuarine systems, and provides specific methdology recommendations to facilitate detection of invasive species.

This factsheet summarizes the results of a project that studied small-scale changes around oyster farms and assessed larger-scale ecosystem-level alterations to provide a local assessment of ecosystem services of shellfish aquaculture.

These four case studies give examples of four best practices for conflict management in collaborative science. They were developed as part of the Resilience Dialogues project to share lessons learned about effective collaboration from within the National Estuarine Research Reserve System.

This guidance report from New York State ’s Department of Environmental Conservation and Department of State provides an overview of natural resilience measures and how they can reduce risk of flooding and erosion.
