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.

Project Sustainability Plan
The Connect to Protect project team created this project sustainability plan so that team members could evaluate which science transfer activities should continue, prioritize next steps, and consider ways the work can continue with and without additional funding.

Connect to Protect Website
This website provides a landing page for all of the information related to the New Hampshire Coastal Watershed Conservation Plan. Outreach Team members shared the website and links to specific content with webinar attendees and technical assistance project participants for additional background information, and will continue to add content such as articles about the technical assistance projects and resulting products.

Connect to Protect Outreach Materials
This resource contains the outreach materials developed and used during the Connect to Protect project. The project transferred conservation science from the 2021 New Hampshire Coastal Watershed Conservation Plan to help protect and restore estuarine systems in the Piscataqua watershed region using an ecosystem services approach.

Sneak Peek: Connect to Protect: Transferring Conservation Science in New Hampshire’s Coastal Watershed
This project facilitated the transfer of knowledge from the updated 2021 New Hampshire Land Conservation plan to intended users in the Piscataqua watershed region through a focused outreach effort, which included a needs assessment, formal knowledge transfer workshops, and a technical assistance program.

Datasets for Refining Techniques for High-Frequency Monitoring of Chlorophyll
About this project

The 2020-2021 catalyst project Refining Techniques for High-Frequency Monitoring of Chlorophyll in the NERRS brought together twelve biogeochemically diverse reserves to compare results from new YSI in situ sensor technology with ex

Fact Sheet: Recommendations for Chlorophyll Monitoring in the NERRS
About the project

A multi-Reserve study explored the feasibility of including high frequency, in situ chlorophyll a monitoring in the National Estuarine Research Reserve System-wide Monitoring Program (NERR SWMP).

Tool |
Repository for chlorophyll a sensor modeling workflow

With funding from the NERRS Science Collaborative, scientists from 12 biogeographically diverse Reserves compared fluorescence measurements taken by the YSI EXO TAL sensor to extracted chlorophyll concentrations processed in the lab.

Protocols for calibrating and managing chlorophyll in situ and extraction sensor readings

Standardized protocols for sensor-based chlorophyll monitoring are now available for use by staff around the system to implement high frequency chlorophyll monitoring at their reserves.
