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: Including community leaders on the team
GUIDE CASE STUDY: To be effective, collaborative project teams must include the right skill sets, but it’s also important to include team members who have established relationships with or access to your project’s intended users.

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.

Project Overview |
Spreading the Seeds of Estuary Health

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.

Evaluating Living Shorelines to Inform Regulatory Decision-Making in South Carolina

This project overview describes a multi-year collaborative research project that analyzed a suite of living shoreline possibilities for South Carolina to help the state develop a living shoreline policy.

Project Overview |
Understanding the Vulnerabilities of Southeastern Coastal Habitats to Climate Change Impacts

This project overview describes a 2016 Science Transfer project where staff members from the North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserve are being trained in the application of the CCVATCH tool to assess the vulnerabilities of local coastal habitats to climate change.
