This article, published in Stormwater Magazine in September 2020, describes how an expert panel process helped develop performance curves to assign regulatory credit for restored or constructed buffers as water quality best management practices.

This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the June 2020 webinar Credit for Going Green: Using an Expert Panel Process to Quantify the Benefits of Buffers.

This project overview describes a 2018 Catalyst project where Rookery Bay Reserve staff and University of South Florida researchers are partnered to update and create maps of mangrove habitat to measure changes over time.

This story map explains mangrove habitat change at the Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve from 2010-2018, illustrating mangrove damage and recovery from Hurricane Irma.

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?

This project overview describes a 2018 Science Transfer project where three Northeast reserves are collaborating to develop consensus-based recommendations for pollutant load reduction performance curves to help New Hampshire communities use buffers to meet in-stream pollution reduction targets.
