Webinar: Exploring Applications of Ecosystem Service Conceptual Models for Coastal Habitats
NESP’s Lydia Olander and Sara Mason will be presenting a webinar on their recent work with the National Estuarine Research Reserve System (NERRS). The presentation will focus on an approach to using Ecosystem Service Conceptual Models as a framework to think about ecosystem services and how they can be considered within the NERRS. The webinar will focus on work with the North Carolina and Rookery Bay NERRs to develop models of oyster reef and mangrove ecosystem services, efforts to apply these models to specific restoration sites at these reserves, and use of the models as a way to think about standardized monitoring of ecosystem services outcomes across the NERRS network. Wednesday, June 26, 3 p.m.–4 p.m. ET.
