Through a 2020 catalyst project, university, reserve, and restoration practitioners partnered to understand social perceptions of saltmarsh restoration in Oregon to identify ways to better incorporate socially relevant information i

This presentation was developed for a public lecture series sponsored by the University of Texas at Austin Marine Science Institute and the Mission-Aransas NERR a part of the 2020 catalyst project to integrate acoustic monitoring into multiple reserve programs in the southeast region.This presentation describes the acoustic monitoring framework with applications to research, stewardship, and education, co-produced with the North Inlet-Winyah Bay, Rookery Bay, and Mission-Aransas NERRs, along with other regional management users.

Project Lead Chris Biggs gives a 5-minute introduction to "Listen In: Acoustic Monitoring of Estuarine Communities Facing Ecosystem Change," a catalyst project funded in 2020 by the NERRS Science Collaborative.

eDNA (environmental DNA) refers to the genetic material found in an environmental sample (water or sediment). eDNA comes from feces, gametes, scales, and cells that an organism sheds, and is easily collected from water and sediment samples.

This exhibit panel, developed for the Oregon Institute of Marine Biology ’s Charleston Marine Life Center, gives an overview of shoreline and bathymetric change in the Coos Estuary over the past 150 years.

This collection of videos uses a hydrodynamic model to show salinity changes in the Coos estuary in different geographies and seasons.

This website contains data and files to run hydrodynamic modeling simulations for Coos estuary in southwestern Oregon.

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

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