Project Description: This project takes a human dimensions approach to the social-ecological systems of the Northeast Coastal and Barrier Network parks, connecting with park visitors and nearby residents to explain the impacts of NCBN inventory and monitoring on science-based decision making in the parks. This work will incorporate scientific knowledge, local knowledge, and values into communication materials.
One of the goals of the National Park Service is to clearly and effectively communicate the results of its research efforts to both park staff and the public in ways beyond the typical scientific paper report. As part of this collaboration, the research team will develop a number of science communication related products aimed visitors and nearby residents, resource briefs, researcher profiles, podcasts, and photo stories.
