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.

Case Study: Communicating project goals with logic models
GUIDE CASE STUDY: A logic model can clearly and concisely communicate your project’s goals, objectives, resources, and outcomes to the larger team and your stakeholders. The Our Coast, Our Future project team developed a logic model so that the stakeholders they had engaged in the process could see how the project fit into the complex and dynamic coastal management situation in California.

Evaluating Thin-Layer Sediment Placement as a Tool for Enhancing Tidal Marsh Resilience: a Coordinated Experiment Across Eight US National Estuarine Research Reserves
Abstract

Thin-layer sediment placement (TLP) is a promising management tool for enhancing tidal marsh resilience to rising seas.

Best Practices for Conflict Management in Collaborative Science

These four case studies give examples of four best practices for conflict management in collaborative science. They were developed as part of the Resilience Dialogues project to share lessons learned about effective collaboration from within the National Estuarine Research Reserve System.

Case Study |
NECAP Community Case Studies

These case studies summarize findings from a 2012 Collaborative Research project studying climate change adaptation and risks in four New England communities.

Timing of stressors alters interactive effects on a coastal foundation species

This 2017 article appeared in the journal Ecology, and presents findings from a study assessing the individual and synergistic effects of air temperature and salinity on Olympia oyster mortality across temporal patterns that accurately reflect the natural environment.
