Salt Marshes as Groundwater Buffers for Development: A Survey of South Carolina Salt Marsh Basins

Frontiers in Water, 2021
Salt marshes serve as zones of intense groundwater mixing and reaction between freshwater uplands and estuaries. This raises the question of whether the impacts of upland development on nutrient and carbon species can be transmitted through salt marshes ...

Artificial light on water attracts turtle hatchlings during their near shore transit [PDF]

Royal Society Open Science, 2016
We examined the effect of artificial light on the near shore trajectories of turtle hatchlings dispersing from natal beaches. Green turtle (Chelonia mydas) hatchlings were tagged with miniature acoustic transmitters and their movements tracked within an ...

Greening of grey infrastructure should not be used as a Trojan horse to facilitate coastal development

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2020
1. Climate change and coastal urbanisation are driving the replacement of natural habitats with artificial structures and reclaimed land globally. These novel habitats are often poor surrogates for natural habitats. 2.
