Cultural ecosystem services (CES), one of four main categories of ecosystem services, are often described as the non-material benefits that humans receive from their interactions with the environment.

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

The Habitat Heartbeats project is developing a monitoring system to integrate living organisms such as oysters and mussels ("biosentinels”) with existing monitoring efforts.

The Habitat Heartbeats project was featured during the 2023 virtual symposium showcasing recent scientific studies related to the restoration and health of San Diego estuaries including the Tijuana River Estuary, San Diego Bay, and Los Peñasquitos Lagoon.

This five-minute video shows the January 5, 2023 flooding on North San Pedro Road in China Camp State Park, San Rafael California during an atmospheric river event. The road also floods during winter king tides that raise water levels in San Francisco Bay.

A project team at the San Francisco Bay NERR is researching road modification options for a flood-prone stretch of North San Pedro Road, which runs through China Camp State Park in San Rafael.

A project team at the San Francisco Bay NERR is working with various stakeholders to design a road modification project in China Camp State Park. Road modification is necessary for the community to maintain road access to and through the park as sea level rise continues to threaten low-

China Camp State Park is one of the few remaining ecologically intact landscapes of the San Francisco Estuary, but the region is becoming increasingly vulnerable to sea-level rise.
