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 ...

Modeling Changes in Flow Dynamics From the Restoration of a Distributary Slough Along a Large Floodplain River

River Research and Applications, Volume 41, Issue 7, Page 1400-1417, September 2025.
ABSTRACT Sloughs are slow‐moving or still water systems that serve as an important ecosystem component connecting rivers and floodplains such as the Apalachicola River in northwest Florida. However, sloughs of the Apalachicola River have become hydrologically disconnected from the mainstem due to the impact of failed navigation projects such as channel

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 ...

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

Increasing duration of heatwaves poses a threat to oyster sustainability in the Gulf of Mexico

Ecological Indicators
The future of the wild oyster fishery in the northern Gulf of Mexico is largely uncertain due to changing environmental conditions and declining abundance of harvestable oysters.

Changes in the spectrum and rates of extracellular enzyme activities in seawater following aggregate formation [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2010
Marine snow aggregates are heavily colonized by heterotrophic microorganisms that express high levels of hydrolytic activities, making aggregates hotspots for carbon remineralization in the ocean.

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 ...
