This document summarizes communications and mental modeling stream research conducted by a 2010 Collaborative Research team on perceptions, beliefs, and values of riparian ecosystem services and shoreline protection among stakeholders and residents within a Maine watershed.

This webinar discussing economic valuation of ecosystem services was the result of a 2010 Collaborative Research project that studied ecosystem service valuation of southern Maine watersheds.

This survey, prepared and administered by a 2010 Collaborative Research project team in Maine, asks for residents' opinions about how riparian land is managed in the Merriland, Branch Brook, and Little Rivers Watershed.

This report summarizes an analysis of ecosystem service values provided by protection and restoration of riparian land in the Merriland, Branch Brook and Little River (MBLR) watershed in south coastal Maine.

This project overview describes a 2010 Collaborative Research project in which the Wells Reserve and a diverse team of stakeholders collaborated to better understand, measure, and communicate how southern Mainers value natural buffers.

Oysters are the tiny superheroes of coastal environments. They enhance water quality, create habitat, and protect shorelines from storms and erosion. Along the Pacific Coast, native oysters are in decline, due in part to sedimentation, inadequate protection, and unsustainable harvests.

This article, which appeared in Global Change Biology, discusses findings from a study that quantified total ecosystem carbon stocks of major tidal wetland types in the Pacific Northwest.
