These middle school lessons discuss ecosystem services and the benefits to people from coastal habitats such as oyster reef and mangrove.

This case study discusses an example of an Ecosystem Services Conceptual Model for oyster reef restoration at National Estuarine Research Reserve sites in North Carolina.

This online ecosystem services toolkit is designed to help coastal resource managers incorporate ecosystem services into decision-making processes and habitat restoration projects.

These generalized Ecosystem Services Conceptual Models and metrics for mangrove and oyster reef habitat restoration are designed to help coastal managers incorporate ecosystem services into their coastal decision-making processes.

This workshop facilitation guide is designed to help coastal resource managers and practitioners incorporate ecosystem services into their coastal decision-making processes.

This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the March 2020 webinar Estimating Long-term Phosphorous Retention Capacity of Riverine and Coastal Wetlands.

This protocol is intended to enable wetland managers, conservationists, and other practitioners to monitor and estimate a wetland ’s long-term Total Phosphorus (TP) retention capacity threshold.

This infographic illustrates the role wetlands can play in removing total phosphorus from the water and ultimately help improve water quality and reduce Harmful Algal Blooms in Lake Erie. The infographic describes how the researchers estimated long-term phosphorus retention capacity for different types of wetlands in Ohio and provides suggestions as to how different audiences might be able to contribute to this effort.

In collaboration with several local partners, Old Woman Creek National Estuarine Research Reserve conducted a study aimed at understanding different wetlands' long-term capacity for removing nutrients. Together, they produced this story map that demonstrates the importance of wetland services, explains different types of wetlands and management priorities, and summarizes how the team estimated the long-term phosphorus retention capacities of a variety of wetland types based on samples collected from sites in Ohio, including the Lake Erie watershed.

This thesis represents the first study to examine a full individual energy budget for the triploid Eastern oyster, Crassostrea virginica, with implications for shellfish aquaculture in the southeastern United States.
