Feasibility of restoring native oyster reefs in highly modified urban estuaries

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Urbanized estuaries are highly altered systems characterized by modified shorelines, degraded marine habitats, and abundant non‐native species. In South Australia's largest urbanized estuary, community‐based restoration initiatives aim to restore native flat oyster reefs (Ostrea angasi) lost over a century ago.

Propagation method and species drive survival patterns across reef zones in coral seeding on the Great Barrier Reef

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral reef restoration increasingly relies on scalable methods, yet outcomes vary across species, propagation techniques, and habitats. Coral seeding, where coral propagules are settled on deployment units before outplanting, provides a flexible approach that accommodates both asexual (e.g. microfragments) and sexual (e.g.

Tributary‐scale oyster reef restoration in Harris Creek, Maryland: lessons from a decade of planning, implementing, and monitoring

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction In response to the decline of eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) populations in Chesapeake Bay, a large‐scale restoration initiative was launched in Harris Creek, Maryland, in 2011. This effort marked a shift from fragmented projects toward a coordinated, sanctuary‐based approach to oyster restoration.

Individual and combined effects of shading and habitat complexity on benthic macroinvertebrate communities in a mesocosm stream experiment (São Paulo, Brazil)

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Agricultural activities are a major driver of biodiversity loss and ecosystem degradation in subtropical streams, often altering macroinvertebrate community structure and associated ecosystem functions. Although restoration strategies increasingly target these impacts, the relative importance of riparian shading and in‐stream ...

Sponges survive and develop infaunal snapping shrimp communities when transplanted immediately after clonal propagation: implications for restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Sponges historically dominated the heterotrophic biomass of Florida Bay's hard‐bottom habitat, providing crucial ecosystem services including shelter for soniferous shrimp that contribute to the marine soundscape. The loss of the sponge communities has inspired restoration efforts using in‐water nurseries for vegetative ...

Bioturbating bivalves show potential to bioremediate degraded soft sediments by restoring ecosystem function

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Natural recovery of disturbed marine ecosystems can take years, mainly because long‐lived, functionally important species are lost. To regain ecosystem services, the focus of estuarine restoration is shifting from biodiversity metrics to functional restoration.
