What do you mean, “seascape restoration”? Definitions and global practice

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration of marine ecosystems is scaling up, fuelled by the growing recognition of the ecological and socio‐economic benefits sustained by nature and the need to recover what has been lost or degraded. Parallel to this, there is an increasing trend toward “multi‐species,” “multi‐habitat,” and “seascape” restoration projects ...

Evaluation of culture enclosures for the mangrove oyster Crassostrea rhizophorae suspended from raft and long-line systems

open access: yesCiencias Marinas, 2006
 We evaluated the growth and survival of the mangrove oyster Crassostrea rhizophorae (30 mm maximum length) reared in two suspended-culture systems (raft and long-line) using three types of enclosures (oyster enclosures, lantern nets and enclosures ...

Morphological and functional characterization of the oyster Crassostrea gasar circulating hemocytes: Cell types and phagocytosis activity

open access: yesFish and Shellfish Immunology Reports, 2023
Hemocytes are the circulating cells of the hemolymph of oysters and are responsible for numerous physiological functions, including immune defense. The oyster Crassostrea gasar is a native species inhabiting mangrove habitat and is of great commercial ...

Innovative Field Applications of Probiotics, Prebiotics, and Medicinal Plant Products for Disease Control in Aquaculture

open access: yesJournal of Fish Diseases, Volume 49, Issue 11, November 2026.
ABSTRACT Disease outbreaks and the associated reliance on antibiotics pose major constraints to the sustainability of modern aquaculture. As regulatory pressures increase and consumer demand shifts toward residue‐free production, diverse biological interventions are gaining prominence as viable alternatives to chemotherapeutics.

Exploring the significance of Kenya's indigenous and emerging blue foods for sustainable aquaculture development. A review

open access: yesJournal of the World Aquaculture Society, Volume 57, Issue 5, October 2026.
Abstract Kenya's aquaculture sector is at a pivotal stage, transitioning from a historical reliance on Nile tilapia and African catfish toward a more diversified production portfolio that integrates indigenous and emerging freshwater and marine species. This shift is increasingly recognized as essential to enhance climate resilience, food security, and

Marine Functional Connectivity Contributes to Ecosystem Functioning Across Multiple Scales

open access: yesAquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 36, Issue 9, September 2026.
ABSTRACT The passive transport and active movements of marine organisms between habitats and ecosystems, known as marine functional connectivity, play a critical role in the functioning of marine ecosystems. However, marine functional connectivity, particularly at large spatial scales, is often understudied, and consequently tends to be overlooked in ...

Recommendations for the development of erosion‐resistant tidal marshes to enhance nature‐based flood risk mitigation

open access: yesEcological Applications, Volume 36, Issue 6, September 2026.
Abstract There is growing interest in nature‐based hybrid flood risk mitigation, in which wetland ecosystems, such as tidal marshes, are an integral part. Tidal marshes can attenuate wave loading on defense structures, reduce breach depth in case of defense structure failure, attenuate storm surges, reduce shoreline erosion, and grow vertically with ...
