Tea leaves aren’t just good for predicting our future, they also can help us predict the future condition of marshes. Exhibit A: researchers at Reserves across the System are using tea bags as part of an international experiment …
Where will the marshes go? What will happen to the forests? These are questions that Lizzy Powell, Margaret A. Davidson Fellow at the Delaware Reserve, PhD candidate at the University of Maryland, and resident “Ghost Buster” for the Reserve is trying to answer.
Reserves are always monitoring their estuaries and now, they’re using this data to tell a visual story about the impact of major storms to help communities plan for the future.
For a community hit by a hurricane, recovery can be a long, traumatic process that begins with understanding the storm’s impacts, which helps communities to become more resilient in the future.
Jennifer Holmes, who previously served as education coordinator at the Delaware Reserve, has rejoined the NERRS as a coastal training program coordinator. Please join NERRA in welcoming her back to the NERRd family!
A warm welcome to Laurel Sullivan, new education coordinator (and NERRd) at the Delaware Reserve. A Delaware native, she brings a love for her home state’s estuaries—and its horseshoe crabs!—to her new role.
