for you to use! WQdashboard is an open-source dashboard template that can be used to display water quality data using interactive maps, report cards, and graphs. No coding knowledge required. This tool accepts multiple different data formats, including those
used by WQX, RI DEM, Watershed Watch, and the Blackstone River Coalition. WQdashboard allows organizations to easily create water quality graphics and data visualizations<br>

Interested in learning more about WQdashboard? On March 21st, 2026, NBEP’s geospatial design manager, Mariel Sorlien, will participate in a workshop at the Rhode Island Land and Water Summit with partners from Salt Ponds Coalition and the Blackstone River Collaborative.
In this workshop, we will present a brief overview of WQdashboard and share how our partners are using this tool to share data. The session will also feature a demo to walk new users through the process of creating their own website with WQdashboard.

Town of Barrington, RI on projects related to municipal climate resiliency. Nichole prepared the Town's 1st Annual Report on Ready & Resilient Barrington - i.e., the Town's adopted climate action plan. The report she prepared was presented to the Town Council
and the Town Council accepted the report. Nichole also assisted with grant writing, coordinated with state and local partners, and helped to develop communications materials to help residents be better prepared for flooding, stormwater, and other environmental
hazards. <a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/nbep.us10.list-manage.com/track/click?u=a10a20f502178989f7c53e0ef&id=de292e6723&e=d0c768fc40__;!!KKphUJtCzQ!ID16VlgDC-PLYpWIdtPOgUm64U5htE_pD9zxT6NM5Se4AJB-Muv9fcN1edf8pBVO6H2Xot7ZYI68Y9-KAm4$">

ongoing and future work in habitat resilience and restoration can help to protect wetlands and the ecosystems they support.

The Massachusetts Division of Ecological Restoration (DER) is seeking applications for potential tidal restoration sites within the Massachusetts portion of the Narragansett Bay Estuary region that need preliminary field investigations to support tidal restoration
project planning and development. These studies, contracted and managed by DER, provide the agency with critical information for future ecological restoration planning. Likewise, the studies help landowners and partners assess opportunities and constraints
during early planning phases of potential tidal restoration projects. DER is interested in tidal restoration projects that are at an early stage of development and/or decision-making. Selected projects will be eligible to receive technical assistance from
DER staff and DER-led contracted technical services from qualified vendors. <strong>
