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

The 2020-2021 catalyst project Refining Techniques for High-Frequency Monitoring of Chlorophyll in the NERRS brought together twelve biogeochemically diverse reserves to compare results from new YSI in situ sensor technology with ex

Thin-layer placement (TLP) is an emergent climate adaptation strategy that mimics natural deposition processes in tidal marshes by adding a small amount of sediment on top of marsh in order to maintain elevation relative to sea level rise.

This project overview describes a 2017 Science Transfer project in which the southeastern National Estuarine Research Reserves created a region-wide, student-driven program for teachers to further understanding of estuary restoration.

This project overview describes a 2018 Catalyst project that created an Olympia oyster restoration network to enhance the success of West Coast restoration efforts.

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 project overview describes a 2018 catalyst project led by the San Francisco Bay Reserve that brought together key stakeholders and decision makers to advance adaptation planning for a low-lying coastal road at China Camp State Park.

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.

Mangroves and other habitats in Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve have been changing as a result of chronic stressors and severe hurricanes in recent years.

This project overview describes a project led by Elkorn Slough National Estuarine Research Reserve to communicate the results of a recent national synthesis of NERR Sentinel Site data on marsh resilience to sea level rise.
