This project overview describes a 2018 Catalyst project where researchers from Duke University and the North Carolina and Rookery Bay reserves partnered to develop ecosystem services models for coastal habitats.

This paper, published in Remote Sensing in 2020, describes a new satellite-based habitat mapping technique that was tested at Rookery Bay NERR in southwest Florida.

These public outreach materials discuss ecosystem services and the benefits to people from coastal habitats such as oyster reef and mangrove.

These middle school lessons discuss ecosystem services and the benefits to people from coastal habitats such as oyster reef and mangrove.

This case study discusses an example of an Ecosystem Services Conceptual Model for mangrove habitat restoration at Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve in Florida.

This online ecosystem services toolkit is designed to help coastal resource managers incorporate ecosystem services into decision-making processes and habitat restoration projects.

These generalized Ecosystem Services Conceptual Models and metrics for mangrove and oyster reef habitat restoration are designed to help coastal managers incorporate ecosystem services into their coastal decision-making processes.

This workshop facilitation guide is designed to help coastal resource managers and practitioners incorporate ecosystem services into their coastal decision-making processes.

This project overview describes a 2018 Catalyst project where Rookery Bay Reserve staff and University of South Florida researchers are partnered to update and create maps of mangrove habitat to measure changes over time.

This paper, published in International Journal of Applied Earth Observation and Geoinformation, describes results of three different mangrove mapping methods to evaluate the impacts of Hurricane Irma, a Category 3 storm that affected southwest Florida in September of 2017. The approach was tested on a very high resolution WorldView-2 satellite image.
