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.

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.

Gaining ground: survival of native estuarine fauna exposed to recycled glass sand, a potential material for coastal restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives The aim of this research is to develop an understanding of the potential for using recycled glass sand as a resource for restoring Louisiana's coastline by testing the effects of exposure of native estuarine fauna to recycled glass sand and other sand treatments in a laboratory environment.

Sediment addition to address tidal marsh elevation deficits caused by farm impoundments: a Delaware Bay, New Jersey, United States case study

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Dredge material use is emerging as an important technique for restoring marshes threatened by historic mismanagement and sea‐level rise, yet optimal methods to maximize ecological benefit remain under development. The Delaware Estuary is in urgent need of restoration, as historic agricultural conversion caused substantial and ...

Fish assemblage at a newly restored tidal wetland reflects surrounding waterways in the Sacramento‐San Joaquin Delta

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction We studied the response of fish assemblages, water quality, and plankton following the completion of 700 acres of a 1184‐acre tidal restoration project (Dutch Slough Tidal Restoration; DSTR) in a system degraded by water diversions, channelization, non‐native species, and wetland loss.
