Sneak Peek: Bringing Plant-Scale Knowledge to Shoreline Habitat Practitioners in the Lake Superior Basin
Project lead Karina Heim gives a short introduction to "Greener Shores: Bringing Plant-scale Knowledge to Shoreline Habitat Practitioners in the Lake Superior (Gichigami) Basin."
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.

Case Study: Resolving Conflict
GUIDE CASE STUDY: Collaboration with diverse team members and stakeholders can sometimes result in disagreements or contention, as was the experience of the New England Climate Adaptation Project, a regional initiative involving the four New England reserves.

Lake Superior NERR Digital Site Profile
Each National Estuarine Research Reserve develops a site profile synthesizing knowledge about its physical, historical, social and biological characteristics to guide research activities. This digital site profile helps users orient to the Lake Superior Reserve and understand its context.

Case Study: Adjusting to respect different ways of knowing
GUIDE CASE STUDY: To help elevate the cultural significance of plants and preserve their knowledge, Indigenous knowledge holders agreed to advise a project team as they developed a planting guide for the Gichi-gami basin. As discussions began, the team quickly discovered differing expectations about what and how Indigenous knowledge would inform the final guide.

Fish Species Response to Capture, Transport and Husbandry Practices

This table summarizes the key findings related to the fish capture, transport and husbandry practices tested in the 2020 catalyst project led by the Kachemak Bay Reserve to catalyze future research on the mechanisms of paralytic shellfish toxin transfer from forage fish to upper trophic populations.

Nearshore Fish Collections in Kachemak Bay and Monashka Bay, Alaska

These data encompass the nearshore fish surveys conducted by the Kachemak Bay Reserve as part of a 2020 catalyst project that expanded research collaborations and completed proof of concept activities to catalyze future research on the mechanisms of paralytic shellfish toxin transfer from forage fish to upper trophic populations.

Sneak Peek: Assessing Forage Fish Exposure to Paralytic Shellfish Toxins in Alaska

Staff from the Kachemak Bay NERR expanded research collaborations and completed proof of concept activities to catalyze future research on the mechanisms of paralytic shellfish toxin transfer from forage fish to upper trophic populations– an increasing concern after statewide seabird die-offs and

Using Remote Sensing and Machine Learning to Locate Groundwater Discharge to Salmon-Bearing Streams

This 2021 paper from the University of South Florida discusses how machine learning was used to map aquifers throughout the Kenai Lowlands to locate groundwater discharge, providing a framework to extend this method of modeling groundwater to other reserves.
