What Is the Problem We’re Addressing?

Sea is rising What to plan for? When to act? What to do? Is it the right thing? Is it working?
NERRS Science Collaborative
SAIM Project Goals
- 1. Overarching NERRS-focused objective: Help reserves
– Define “success” for their own purposes – Develop useful, impactful metrics to track progress (along adaptation pathway) – Learn from each other (through a multiple-site, comparative approach)
- 2. Overarching broader objective: Contribute to scientific
and policy debates
– Share lessons with regional partners, other reserves, coastal scientists and managers faced with similar challenges – Contribute to national indicator system – Contribute to broader “M&E” discussion in the adaptation community
NERRS Science Collaborative
Progress to Date
- 3 webinars specifically focused on SAIM project for NERRS
- 6 workshops across 5 partnering reserves
- 5+ semi-annual survey/check-ins with cohorts + annual
meeting interaction (incl. professional sharing)
- 1 peer-reviewed publication (2nd in progress)
- Several presentations to interested parties beyond NEERS
– USDN (May 2015) – Community Resilience Panel (April 2016) – National Academy of Science (December 2016) – American Society of Adaptation Professionals (April 2017) – National Socioenvironmental Synthesis Center (Aug 2017) – Social Coast Forum (February 2018) – Restore America’s Estuaries (2018)

Sharing What We Learned Systemwide …and Beyond
- Key: • Reserves participating in SAIM project and toolkit • Reserve involved in SAIM project
NERRS Science Collaborative
The Successful Indicators and Metrics Toolkit
(and Community of Practice)
- Focus: Coastal areas actively working on
climate change adaptation but intended for broader audience
- Audiences:
– Reserve programs and other coastal managers – Adaptation professionals and their partners
- Goals:
1. Integrate learning from project to date 2. Share facilitation tools and resources systemwide and beyond 3. Build capacity around identifying, selecting, tracking and using SAIMs

Input in Toolkit Design
- Elicitations ongoing
– Professional Sharing Sessions with NERRS (2016, 2017, 2018) – Social Coast Forum 2018 – NERRS SC Advisory Board – RAE 2018 – NAF 2019 - TODAY!!

SAIM Toolkit: Initial Content Ideas
- Introduction and
motivation to develop SAIMs
- Indicator development in
larger context of adaptation planning
- Facilitation tools for
different stages in process
- Lessons learned
- Sample indicators
- Readings & Resources
- Opportunity to enter and
track data over time
12
- 1. Exploring
indicators
- 2. Selecting
indicators
- 3. Tracking
indicators
- 4. Using
indicators
NERRS Science Collaborative
Getting There…
- Workshops at various conferences to shape and
test toolkit
- Development of two-way interactive website
– Close collaboration with NOAA OCM, Digital Coast, and SWMP Data Management
- Trainings on tools in toolkit
- Building an initial community of practice to
sustain

NERRS Science Collaborative
Table Conversations:
A Bit of Give and Take
15
- How do you think about
successful adaptation?
- What resources have you
found helpful?
- What would be helpful
to you – resources, tools, job aids, entry points?
NERRS Science Collaborative
Next Steps
- Processing input to
determine toolkit design
- Website development
- Gathering, development
- f tools and resources
- Trainings
- Toolkit refinement
- Additions over time
