Book excerpt: The National Estuarine Research Reserve System is a network of protected areas established for long-term research, education and stewardship. This partnership program between the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the coastal states protects more than 1.3 million acres of estuarine land and water. This report analyzed socioeconomic, demographic, and infrastructure data to quantify the social sensitivity of reserves and all U.S. coastal communities to climate change at both reserve and coastal county levels. Climate sensitivity, in the context of this report, is defined as whether and how a reserve or group of reserves will be affected by a change in climate conditions, measured over the particular environmental or social geography.

Book Synopsis Estuarine Research, Monitoring, and Resource Protection by : Michael J. Kennish
Download or read book Estuarine Research, Monitoring, and Resource Protection written by Michael J. Kennish and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2003-09-25 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ongoing growth of human populations within US coastal regions continues to increase habitat loss, eutrophication, organic loading, overfishing, and other anthropogenic stressors in estuarine waters. The National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS) is a federally funded initiative that addresses these critical estuarine problems and coastal resource issues at 25 sites in 21 states. Now estuarine and watershed scientists, resource managers, community planners, and other professionals dealing with coastal zone issues have an expert resource describing the NERRS program, organization, goals, and management strategy. Estuarine Research, Monitoring, and Restoration first defines the components and technical aspects of the NERRS program, then provides valuable insight into the program through the presentation of six case studies of NERRS sites. This book examines estuarine problems including degraded water quality, reduction of biodiversity, and problematic invasive species, then analyzes the human impacts affecting estuaries. The comprehensive analysis of the six estuarine reserve locations characterizes each region's physical, chemical, and biological conditions from the perspective of the NERRS program. These case studies include a cross section of sites from three coasts, each study emphasizing the importance of unified efforts of government and citizens to successfully maintain the ecology of these critical areas.

Book excerpt: Climate change poses unprecedented potential for wetland loss and consequences to human communities. It is important to evaluate complex, multi-scale issues, such as climate change, in the context of social-ecological systems. One vital component to resilient social-ecological systems is monitoring—monitoring acts as an effective mechanism for detecting and responding to change in the environment. The primary objective of this thesis was to evaluate the Mission-Aransas National Estuarine Research Reserve’s monitoring efforts. Designated in 2006, the Mission-Aransas NERR belongs to a system of Reserves responsible for serving as researchers and educators for their coastal communities across the United States and Puerto Rico. The Mission-Aransas NERR participates in the System-wide Monitoring Program (SWMP), a standard of the system, that collects long-term monitoring data to inform effective coastal management The SWMP consists of standard abiotic and toolbox-approach biotic data collection, sentinel monitoring of sea level rise impacts, and habitat mapping to monitor long-term changes and short-term variability in estuaries. The first objective was to examine climate-driven foundation species shifts in the salt marsh-mangrove ecotone. In the Mission-Aransas Estuary, there is a general shift toward wetland homogeneity. Wetland sites are becoming less diverse in both species’ richness and species evenness. Specifically, black mangrove shrubs and unvegetated covers are increasing in abundance at the expense of succulent and grass species at monitoring sites. The local macroclimate drivers, increasing minimum temperatures and precipitation changes, appear most influential on the estuarine emergent vegetation patterns. The second objective was to understand the role long-term monitoring data plays in management decision-making. Using qualitative methods, this section focused on Mission-Aransas NERR partners who may own or manage lands within the reserve boundaries. Conversations demonstrated the importance of working beyond boundaries to connect long-term monitoring data to management needs. While partners and other stakeholders have utilized water quality data given the freshwater inflow issues of the region, there is an increasing interest in analyzing and learning about non-NOAA funded vegetation, habitat mapping, and elevation data. Leveraging relationships and building community are solutions for connecting data to end users and demonstrating the value of long-term data for multiple use
Book Synopsis Changing Fish Assemblages in a Mid-Atlantic Estuary by : Katherine J. Nickerson
Download or read book Changing Fish Assemblages in a Mid-Atlantic Estuary written by Katherine J. Nickerson and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the beginning of the 21st century, climate change is among the foremost of ecological concerns in both marine and terrestrial habitats. Generally, mobile species, such as fishes, have shifted their ranges poleward in response to changing climatic conditions in the Northern Hemisphere. On a local scale, however, different fish species have displayed differing shifts in latitude and habitat. It is therefore important to study the change in assemblage shifts on a local scale. I examined the change in fish assemblages, environmental conditions, and the relationship between them, over time in the Mullica River-Great Bay estuary, located in southern New Jersey. I used a long-term time series collected by the Rutgers University Marine Field Station and the Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve's System Wide Monitoring Protocol. I also organized fish species into guilds based on reproductive or origin characteristics, and into abundant and rare species assemblages as a proxy for species, and examined the change in these guilds over time as compared to the full assemblage. Water temperatures in the system rose on average, with Average Summer Temperatures explaining the most variance in the change of fish assemblages. Both the full assemblage and guild analyses also indicated that freshwater-favoring and spawning species increased in importance, while juveniles of estuarine spawners decreased overall. Marine spawners and species did not change significantly, suggesting that change in species local to the system has had a greater effect on the assemblage than change in recruits from the marine environment.
