Mangrove-associated Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas) influence estuarine biodiversity [PDF]
Estuarine ecosystems are often characterised by endemic foundation organisms which facilitate ecosystem interactions and processes established over millennia.

Abstract Restoration in coastal ecosystems is revitalizing populations of foundation species that provide valuable habitat to support biodiversity and ecosystem services. The goals of oyster reef restoration include increasing oyster populations and oyster reef ecosystem services such as provision of habitat for commercially and ecologically valuable ...

The physical and ecological impacts of mangrove expansion and mangrove removal: Tauranga Harbour, New Zealand [PDF]
The mangrove Avicennia marina var. australasica is rapidly colonising intertidal sandflats within a number of estuaries of the North Island of New Zealand. Many local residents perceive this change to be detrimental to the ecology and aesthetics of their

Bed‐level tools for monitoring erosion and accretion patterns: Flume validation and field testing
Abstract Monitoring short‐term changes in surface sediment elevation is fundamental to understanding erosion, transport, and deposition dynamics in shallow coastal environments. However, commonly used field approaches, such as horizontal markers, sediment erosion tables, subsurface sediment plates, or erosion pins, are not always cross‐validated under ...

Identity of Crassostrea praia () and other oysters from Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil [PDF]
The study aimed to identify species of the genus Crassostrea from Rio Grande do Sul and to trace the identity of C. praia, a species recognized under conchological or distributive precepts of native oyster species occurring in an ecological gradient ...

The structurally controlled Otūwhero estuary on the SE boundary of Abel Tasman National Park is a small partially filled incised valley. The small size, limited number of fluvial inputs, accessibility and surrounding land use made it an ideal candidate on which to investigate potential climate‐induced estuarine behaviour. Surficial sediment samples and

Abstract Seafood provides an essential source of macro‐ and micronutrients for coastal communities worldwide. Climate change is a key threat to seafood security, altering the sizes, abundances, distributions, physiology and ecological interactions of fisheries species, and increasingly, there is evidence of impacts to seafood nutritional quality.

Production and decay of mangrove (Avicennia marina subsp. australasica) detritus and its effects on coastal benthic communities [PDF]
Temperate mangrove forests have been poorly studied compared to their tropical counterparts, because they constitute just 1.4% of the global mangrove forest area. Research from tropical mangrove forests suggests they are open systems that provide a large
