This interdisciplinary research project will explore the role of small-scale, community-based restoration projects in facilitating enhanced resilience within both human and ecological systems. This project will increase knowledge of the processes through which human engagement in ecosystem restoration promotes beneficial feedbacks within coastal ecosystems. It will enhance understanding about the specific pathways through which restoration disrupts degraded ecosystems and influences human behavior. A large number of complementary, integrated datasets will be assembled, allowing the project to provide a system-level assessment of ecosystem services related to coastal restoration. The project also will explore the potential for changes in human perception and a sense of place to create feedbacks through altered human behavior that impact natural system dynamics. In addition to its fundamental intellectual merit, the project will yield a diverse set of positive broader impacts. It will quantify relationships between restoration success and impact within and between human and natural components of coastal ecosystems in order to improve likelihoods that future restorations will effectively reduce human vulnerability and improve ecological function. The investigators will engage local research participants, such as fishermen and business owners, in ecological restoration and in the use of techniques like participatory geographic information systems. They also will engage elementary and secondary school educators and students in research through hands-on workshops focused on using digital technologies for storytelling, mapping, and data analysis.Significant attention has been given to the degradation and exploitation of natural resources, but ecosystem restoration represents an activity through which humans seek to improve natural systems. Despite growing investments in restoration, a critical knowledge gap persists in understanding what constitutes "success" and whether traditionally accepted metrics of restoration success (such as the survival rate of plantings or the number of volunteers who participate) are truly indicative of measurable "impacts" (such as improvements to ecological function or enhanced stakeholder buy-in). The investigators will leverage a decade-long monitoring dataset for more than 80 oyster reef and living shoreline restoration projects that have involved over 51,000 volunteers spanning along Florida's Indian River Lagoon. They will generate experimental data to examine restoration impacts on local and regional biogeochemistry, hydraulics, sediment transport, recreational fisheries, and threatened or endangered wading birds. Combining these restoration-impact measures with traditional restoration success metrics for both site- and lagoon-scale ecosystem responses will provide a more complete and quantitative understanding of restoration outcomes. They also will conduct a comprehensive assessment of stakeholder perceptions, attitudes, and the creation of a "sense of place" within the restored and surrounding natural system. Research products will create highly transferable knowledge regarding the critical attributes of restoration and local community engagement that cascade into beneficial feedbacks between humans and restored ecosystems. This project is supported by the NSF Dynamics of Coupled Natural and Human Systems (CNH) Program.

该跨学科研究项目将探讨小规模的基于社区的恢复项目在促进人类和生态系统内增强弹性方面的作用。 该项目将增加对人类参与生态系统恢复的过程的了解，从而促进沿海生态系统内的有益反馈。 它将增强对恢复破坏降解生态系统并影响人类行为的特定途径的理解。 将组装大量互补的综合数据集，从而使项目对与沿海修复有关的生态系统服务进行系统级评估。 该项目还将探索人类感知变化的潜力，以及通过改变人类行为的改变自然系统动态的改变的位置感。 除了其基本的知识分子外，该项目还将产生一系列积极的广泛影响。 它将量化恢复成功与沿海生态系统的人类和自然组成部分之间的恢复成功与影响之间的关系，以提高可能性的可能性，即未来的修复将有效地减少人类脆弱性并改善生态功能。 研究人员将与当地的研究参与者（例如渔民和企业主）参与生态恢复，并使用参与式地理信息系统等技术。 他们还将通过动手实践研讨会来吸引小学和中学教育者和学生进行研究，这些讲习班专注于使用数字技术进行讲故事，映射和数据分析。对自然资源的退化和剥削的重要关注，但生态系统恢复代表了人们寻求改善自然系统的活动。 尽管对恢复的投资不断增长，但关键的知识差距仍在理解什么构成“成功”以及传统上接受的恢复成功指标（例如种植的存活率或参与参与的志愿者的数量）是否确实表明了可衡量的“影响”（例如对生态功能或增强的维持利益持有者购买的改进）。 调查人员将利用长达十年的监控数据集，用于80多个牡蛎礁和生活的海岸线修复项目，这些项目涉及沿着佛罗里达州印度河泻湖的51,000多名志愿者。 他们将生成实验数据，以检查对局部和区域生物地球化学，液压，沉积物运输，休闲渔业以及威胁或濒临灭绝的涉水鸟类的恢复影响。 将这些恢复障碍的措施与传统的恢复成功指标相结合，用于现场和泻湖尺度的生态系统响应，将为恢复结果提供更完整和定量的理解。 他们还将对利益相关者的看法，态度以及在恢复和周围的自然系统中的“地位感”进行全面评估。 研究产品将创建有关恢复和当地社区参与的关键属性的高度可转移的知识，这些知识层叠成人类与恢复生态系统之间有益的反馈。 该项目得到了耦合自然和人类系统（CNH）计划的NSF动力学支持。
