Collapse of the oyster population in Apalachicola Bay: cascading social impacts from an ecologically and culturally significant species

Ecology and Society
Historically fishery-dependent communities can have significant economic, social, and cultural ties to key species, the loss of which can cause cascading impacts throughout the community, extending beyond fishers.

Regional Modeling of Storm Surges Using Localized Features and Transfer Learning

Journal of Geophysical Research: Machine Learning and Computation, Volume 2, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Storm surges induced by low pressure and high winds from tropical or extratropical cyclones are the main driver of major coastal flooding events. While tide gauges provide the most accurate sea level observations, their records are often short, spatially uneven, and contain gaps, posing challenges for a detailed analysis of surge ...

Fishing to farming livelihood diversification: Perceptions from commercial fishers and shellfish farmers in the United States

People and Nature, Volume 7, Issue 8, Page 2038-2050, August 2025.
Abstract Aquaculture, or the farming of aquatic species, is a rapidly growing, multi‐billion‐dollar sector of the U.S. food industry. At the same time, many wild capture fisheries are contending with financial, social or ecological challenges that threaten fishers' abilities to maintain their livelihoods, leading to suggestions that fishers could ...

Demography of Oysters Pre- and Postcollapse in Apalachicola Bay, Florida, Using Stage-Based Counts

Marine and Coastal Fisheries, 2023
Abstract The collapse of oyster populations and the fisheries they support has been a worldwide phenomenon, but studies of oyster demography in situ prior to and after the collapse have been rare. We used time series of stage-based counts of eastern oysters Crassostrea virginica in Apalachicola Bay, Florida, to help understand how ...

A Needle in a Haystack: Landscape Survey and Archaeological Detection Experiments in Apalachee Bay

Archaeological Prospection, Volume 32, Issue 2, Page 263-280, April/June 2025.
ABSTRACT This paper presents the results of a pilot landscape‐scale seismic survey undertaken in Apalachee Bay, Florida, across a submerged landscape that contains dozens of Pre‐Contact sites. In addition to the goals of improving the geophysical and remote sensing ground model for this submerged landscape, the survey also sought to undertake the first

Evaluation of the flushing rates of Apalachicola Bay, Florida via natural geochemical tracers [PDF]

Marine Chemistry, 2008
Abstract We used naturally occurring radium isotopes as tracers of water exchange in Apalachicola Bay, a shallow coastal-plain estuary in northwestern Florida. The bay receives fresh water and radium from the Apalachicola River, and mixes with Gulf of Mexico waters through four inlets.

Impact‐Based Thresholds for Investigation of High‐Tide Flooding in the United States

Earth's Future, Volume 13, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract High‐tide flooding—minor, disruptive coastal inundation—is expected to become more frequent as sea levels rise. However, quantifying just how quickly high‐tide flooding rates are changing, and whether some places experience more high‐tide flooding than others, is challenging.

Advancing Estuarine Science and Management Through Long‐Term Research and Monitoring in the U.S. National Estuarine Research Reserve System

Journal of Geophysical Research: Biogeosciences, Volume 130, Issue 4, April 2025.
Abstract Long‐term research and monitoring programs are critical to our understanding of ecosystem processes. Although short‐term studies are one effective method for scientific investigations, they cannot elucidate the role of medium to long‐term cycles and lag effects in ecosystem processes, limiting our ability to interpret trends and interactions ...

Ecology of Acartia tonsa in Apalachicola Bay, Florida, and implications of river water diversion [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2007
Acartia tonsa herbivory, carnivory, egg production rate, egg production efficiency, and abundance were studied within various salinity regimes in Apalachicola Bay throughout a 2 yr period. The percent of phytoplankton productivity ingested by A. tonsa ranged from 0 to 24% (median 0.4%). The diet of A. tonsa was mixed.

Reestablishing larval connectivity in an estuarine landscape: the importance of shoreline and subtidal oysters (Crassostrea virginica) in a comprehensive oyster restoration program

Restoration Ecology, Volume 33, Issue 3, March 2025.
The decline of oyster reefs in estuaries has resulted from a combination of chronic and acute disturbances. The loss has resulted in decreased yield for the oyster fishery as well as a decline in ecological benefits that has led to increased efforts to restore oyster reefs.
