Seventeen projects involving 27 reserves across the nation and totaling more than $2 million have been recommended for support by NOAA’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) Science Collaborative.

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

This article, published in Stormwater Magazine in September 2020, describes how an expert panel process helped develop performance curves to assign regulatory credit for restored or constructed buffers as water quality best management practices.

This paper, published in Agricultural and Resource Economics Review, stemmed from work completed as part of the Buffer Options for the Bay project in Great Bay, NH.

This article describes a 2013 Collaborative Research project in Exeter, NH that studied adaptive governance and climate change adaptation planning by evaluating stakeholder involvement in a local institutional setting.

This paper, published in Biological Conservation, describes an innovative approach developed by the NERRS to evaluate the ability of tidal marshes to thrive as sea levels rise.

Eleven projects have been recommended for funding by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration ’s National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) Science Collaborative.

A suite of information and decision-support tools for landowners, communities, and policymakers interested in leveraging the benefits of buffers is now available thanks to a two-year effort to collect and integrate information about buffer protection and management.
