Case Study |
Case Study: Begin planning early for next steps
GUIDE CASE STUDY: Collaborative science projects are designed to inform and catalyze action, but often those impacts do not develop until after a grant ends. Two project teams working with New England reserves found different ways to support the work of their partners after their grants ended.
Factsheet |
A National Synthesis of Tidal Marshes to Detect Impacts of Climate Change across Multiple Scales

This factsheet, written as a resource for a three-year Collaborative Research project, describes measures and proposed management plans for marsh resilience to create a long-term monitoring programs and national-level synthesis efforts.

Webinar Summary |
Can Oyster Aquaculture Help Restore Coastal Water Quality?

This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the May 2021 webinar Can Oyster Aquaculture Help Restore Coastal Water Quality?

Data |
Dataset: Measuring Nitrogen Removal Rates from an Oyster Aquaculture Experiment in Massachusetts

This resource includes links to five datasets generated by a collaborative research project that measured nitrogen removal from oyster aquaculture using complement biogeochemistry and genetic methods.

Journal Article |
Comparison of Oyster Aquaculture Methods and Their Potential to Enhance Microbial Nitrogen Removal from Coastal Ecosystems

This article, published in Frontiers in Marine Science in 2021, describes work done as part of a 2017-2020 collaborative research project conducted at Waquoit Bay Reserve in Massachusetts. The article explores the impacts of oyster aquaculture on nitrogen removal by examining bacterial processes in sediments underlying three of the most common aquaculture methods that vary in the proximity of oysters to the sediments.

Project Overview |
Developing DNA Methods to Monitor Invasive Species and Biodiversity in Estuaries

This project overview describes a 2017 Collaborative Research project that is piloting and refining DNA-based monitoring protocols that can be applied to specific issues and species of interest in estuarine ecosystems.

Project Overview |
SETr: Developing Tools and Visualizations to Track Changes in Wetland Surface Elevation

This project overview describes a 2018 Catalyst project led by Grand Bay Reserve that developed standardized tools to quality-check, analyze, and visualize Surface Elevation Table data.

Factsheet |
Recommended Methods for eDNA Water Sampling in Estuarine Systems

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.

Data |
Environmental DNA Sequences and Extractions from Six Reserves

This data resource includes eDNA sequences, fish species summary tables, and DNA extractions from Wells, Great Bay, Hudson, Apalachicola, South Slough, and Heʻeia National Estuarine Research Reserves.

Data |
Increasing greenhouse model application in tidally restricted and restored salt marshes across New England and the mid-Atlantic East Coast

These five related carbon storage, greenhouse gas flux and environmental variable datasets were generated by the Bringing Wetlands to Market research team and used to develop a coastal wetland greenhouse gas model for New England.
