The NERRS Science Collaborative manages a national competitive research program that supports collaborative science projects addressing critical coastal management needs.

This outreach tool summarizes the key takeways for a project that assessed the value of a coastal marsh in protecting coastal communities from storm surge and flooding amid a changing climate.

This collection of graphics was developed to support the project's outreach and communications efforts and is being made available for use by others.

The majority of plastic marine debris originates from the land and storm drains are one common entry point. Plastic trash easily slips through the drain and ends up in our waterways.
