Case Study |
Case Study: Begin planning early for next steps
GUIDE CASE STUDY: Collaborative science projects are designed to inform and catalyze action, but often those impacts do not develop until after a grant ends. Two project teams working with New England reserves found different ways to support the work of their partners after their grants ended.

Case Study: Resolving Conflict
GUIDE CASE STUDY: Collaboration with diverse team members and stakeholders can sometimes result in disagreements or contention, as was the experience of the New England Climate Adaptation Project, a regional initiative involving the four New England reserves.
Webinar Summary |
Estuaries Past, Present and Future
This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the November 2023 webinar "Estuaries past, present and future."
Case Study |
Case study: Values-based communications
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.

Juvenile Brown Shrimp (Farfantepenaeus aztecus) Use of Salt Marsh Intertidal Creeks as Nursery Habitat | Estuaries and Coasts
Abstract

Designation of essential fish habitat requires a detailed understanding of how species-specific vital rates vary across habitats and biogeographical regions.

Sneak Peek: Cultural Ecosystem Services in Estuary Stewardship and Management
About the project

Through a 2020 catalyst project, the Heʻeia and Kachemak Bay Reserves worked to advance the equitable representation of cultural ecosystem services in estuary stewardship by providing practical information and opportunities for facilitated exchange.

Engaging with Cultural Ecosystem Services Across the National Estuarine Research Reserve System

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.

Fish Species Response to Capture, Transport and Husbandry Practices

This table summarizes the key findings related to the fish capture, transport and husbandry practices tested in the 2020 catalyst project led by the Kachemak Bay Reserve to catalyze future research on the mechanisms of paralytic shellfish toxin transfer from forage fish to upper trophic populations.

Data |
Nearshore Fish Collections in Kachemak Bay and Monashka Bay, Alaska

These data encompass the nearshore fish surveys conducted by the Kachemak Bay Reserve as part of a 2020 catalyst project that expanded research collaborations and completed proof of concept activities to catalyze future research on the mechanisms of paralytic shellfish toxin transfer from forage fish to upper trophic populations.
