This technical memo presents guidelines for calculating the pollutant removal rate of restored or constructed buffers established on shorelines with different soils, slopes and buffer widths. This tool can help New England communities use buffers to meet water quality standards and fulfill stormwater permitting requirements.

These case studies highlight towns in coastal New Hampshire that used low impact development and green infrastructure strategies to reduce stormwater runoff and adapt to climate change.

This document outlines the strategy developed by a 2012 Collaborative Research project team to achieve a complete community approach for mitigating the negative effects associated with increasing impervious cover and stormwater runoff in coastal New Hampshire.

This fact sheet describes the advantages of incorporating climate change projections into the design of stormwater management systems and discusses the benefits of using green infrastructure and low impact development to adapt to climate change.

This project overview describes a 2012 Collaborative Research project in which Great Bay Reserve and other partners helped New Hampshire communities adopt green infrastructure techniques to more effectively manage stormwater.

This project overview describes a 2012 Collaborative Research project that created an innovative, watershed-wide plan for stormwater and wastewater management in coastal New Hampshire.

This infographic was developed by the Buffer Options for the Bay project and depicts the minimum recommended buffer widths for various buffer functions.

The health of the Great Bay Estuary is strongly influenced by stressors from across the watershed. Seven rivers flow into the estuary, which is recessed 15 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.

The Buffer Options for the Bay website integrates the key findings of Great Bay Reserve's 2015 Integrated Assessment project and is designed to help agencies, non-profits, and communities working on buffers in New Hampshire.

This project overview describes a 2015 Integrated Assessment project that sought to answer the following question: What are the options for addressing the challenges to effectively protect and restore buffer zones around New Hampshire's Great Bay?
