The ability to quickly communicate local environmental changes in the aftermath of hurricanes helps impacted communities better understand storm events and support recovery.

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.

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.

This factsheet, developed by a 2020 catalyst project, provides a brief overview of CES frameworks and categories to complement the information contained in the factsheet “Expanding and Deepening the Application of Cultural Ecosystem Services in Estuary Stewardship and Management ”.

This factsheet, developed by a 2021 catalyst project, summarizes information to strengthen the conceptual foundation and meaningful application of cultural ecosystem services (CES) in the NERRS.

This advisory committee charter, developed for a National Estuarine Research Reserve project to evaluate a thin-layer placement as a strategy for marsh resilience, offers an example for engaging diverse end users in collaborative research.

This dam sediment estimation tool, developed through the Dams and Sediment in the Hudson (DaSH) project, supports dam removal planning for the Lower Hudson River valley.
