A time to celebrate Great Bay!
On March 11, 2026, Great Bay NERR hosted a virtual workshop on Strategies for Facilitating Marsh Migration Workshop. A summary report and recordings of workshop presentations are now available to share lessons learned from the emerging field and inform local and regional restoration efforts.
During the summer of 2025, Great Bay NERR worked with partners to conduct an assessment of Conservation Commissions to help inform future training and engagement programs. We are happy to share the assessment report, which details the varied interests and priorities of Conservation Commissions in NH’s coastal zone.
We are excited to announce the launch of the Caring for Our Marshes Guide, an online resource for coastal residents, landscapers and community leaders looking to protect tidal marshes and strengthen the resilience of homes and neighborhoods. It offers practical, science-based tips for managing shoreline properties so that, as sea levels rise, the landscape can adapt and continue to safeguard both people and nature.
On November 18, we offered a course for 24 real estate professionals in Maine and NH. The course focused on the theme of Living with Water, training professionals so they are more equipped to help coastal home buyers.
We are pleased to announce the completion of the Meadow Pond Workshop Summary, which summarizes the results of a field-oriented, forward-looking workshop about the Meadow Pond area of Hampton, New Hampshire.
