In partnership with the Great Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve, the Great Bay Stewards is issuing a Request for Proposals for a contractor interested in working with us to scope and implement communications products for a Salt Marsh Stewardship Guide.
The Salt Marsh Stewardship Guide will help educate and empower residents and landowners about how they can be good stewards and neighbors for salt marshes. The Guide will provide information on what salt marshes are, the ecosystem services they provide, and the threats they face. It will then provide a set of approximately 7-10 guiding principles that residents and landowners can follow to promote the health and resilience of their local salt marshes.
The selected contractor will work with GBNERR staff to review the current Salt Marsh Stewardship Guide Outline and to scope the development of web content and any additional, complementary outreach materials. These complementary materials may include a short handout and/or mailer that provides a link to the web resources. Web content developed for this project could include new content and graphics to expand an existing website (such as greatbay.org, bufferoptionsnh.org, or des.nh.gov/water/coastal-waters) or development of a new website if deemed most appropriate. The selected contractor will help GBNERR prioritize and develop the potential communication products to maximize impact within the budget.
