Eastern United States: Potential Range for Ecologically Based Coastal Defenses in 2100
These maps show where black mangroves can potentially thrive along the US east coast by the end of the 21st century under several climate scenarios. Similar work was done for oyster reefs and saltmarshes. ABSTRACT Eco‐defenses (mangroves, oyster reefs, and saltmarshes) are ecosystems that can help to mitigate the effects of natural hazards and erosion ...

Harmful algal blooms caused by the paralytic shellfish toxin‐producing species Alexandrium pacificum have increased in recent years in one of the most important aquaculture regions of New Zealand, the Marlborough Sounds. Reoccurring blooms have created large cysts beds in the sediments throughout the sounds. In this region, large populations of the sea
