Seventeen projects involving 27 reserves across the nation and totaling more than $2 million have been recommended for support by NOAA’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) Science Collaborative.

This web resources includes a compilation of lesson plans for grades K - 12 about coastal and estuarine ecology that are intended to complement programs that involve schools in local wetland restoration projects.

This collection of K-12 lesson plans, compiled by the Native Olympia Oyster Collaborative, features science, math, engineering, writing, art, and multidisciplinary lessons that invite students to explore various aspects of West coast native oysters.

This climate adaptation planning toolkit compiles lessons learned by five National Estuarine Research Reserves. It is designed to help communities set goals and identify specific indicators to evaluate progress toward a climate resilient future.

The Native Olympia Oyster Collaborative is a coastwide network from Baja California to British Columbia to conserve and rebuild West coast native oyster populations.

A project team in South Carolina received a Notable State Documents Award for their 2019 report titled Summary of Living Shoreline Research to Inform Regulatory Decision-Making in South Carolina.
