Poster: Drones can revolutionize research and monitoring…can’t they? (NERRS/NERRA Annual Meeting 2020)

Project Lead Brandon Puckett (North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserve) gives an introduction to "Bridging the Gap between Quadrats and Satellites: Assessing Utility of Drone-based Imagery to Enhance Emergent Vegetation Biomonitoring," aka "Drone the SWMP," a catalyst project funded in

The 2020-2022 catalyst project  Bridging the gap between quadrats and satellites: assessing utility of drone-based imagery to enhance emergent vegetation biomonitoring conducted a regionally coordinated effort, working in salt marshes an

This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the July 2022 webinar "Listen In: Acoustic Monitoring of Estuarine Communities Facing Ecosystem Change."

Monitoring plays a central role in detecting climate and anthropogenic stressors and associated changes in wetlands. There is a need for wetland monitoring programs to bridge the gap between ground-based surveys, which can miss important spatial heterogeneity and cause wetland disturbance, a

This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the June 2022 webinar "Drone the SWMP: Assessing the Utility of Drones for Monitoring Coastal Wetlands."

This instructional and informational webinar features background information on the 2020 science transfer Storm Stories project, how end-user feedback was incorporated, the tools and products that have been developed through the project, and how reserves can access resources.

This resource contains the presenter slides, Q&A responses, recording, and presenter bios from the November 2021 webinar Collaborative Research to Manage Stormwater Impacts on Coastal Reserves.

This tool provides an overview of acoustic monitoring in aquatic ecosystems, including sources of sound, metrics for measurement, data collection and analysis, and applications for habitat assessment, stewardship, and education.

This factsheet, written as a resource for a three-year Collaborative Research project, describes measures and proposed management plans for marsh resilience to create a long-term monitoring programs and national-level synthesis efforts.
