Case Study |
GUIDE CASE STUDY: Understanding beliefs, perceptions, and values of end users increases the potential for reserve-based science to make the greatest impact on surrounding communities. A project led by the Wells Reserve used communication audit and mental mapping techniques to understand the collective beliefs about riparian buffers among reserve staff, their partners and stakeholders. Based on this research, they identified which communication and engagement strategies should be collectively prioritized.

Cultural ecosystem services (CES), one of four main categories of ecosystem services, are often described as the non-material benefits that humans receive from their interactions with the environment.

About the project

Many estuaries have been degraded by nitrogen pollution coming from urban and agricultural run-off, which can lead to algal blooms and eutrophication.

News |

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.

Multimedia |
Project Lead Kaitlyn Dietz (Guana Tolomato Matanzas NERR) gives a 5-minute introduction to "Storm Stories: Communicating Hurricane Impacts using Monitoring Data and Visualizations." The presentation was given during a project team workshop in July 2021.
Webinar Summary |

This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the January 2023 webinar "Experimenting with Elevation: Building a New Collaboration to Explore Management Options for Wetland Elevation Maintenance."

Tool |

Northeastern Florida and the Guana Tolomato Matanzas NERR have some of the most intact estuarine ecosystems in the southeastern United States; however, some areas are expected to need targeted management to stabilize land, protect habitat, and maintain surface elevation relative to sea level rise
