Moderate recreational oyster harvest has variable impacts on biophysical properties of reefs and reef‐associated fauna

open access: yesEcosphere, 2023
Despite the popularity of recreational fishing, our understanding of the impacts of this type of harvest within marine ecosystems generally lags behind the well‐documented effects of commercial fisheries.

Gradients In Success: The Impact of Wave Energy, Elevation and Predation on Oyster Reef Restoration

open access: yes, 2023
The structure of coastal communities varies spatially and temporally in response to abiotic and biotic stressors. Local environmental conditions can be modified by the presence of a foundation species, whose dominant physical presence facilitates the ...

Rapid and Accurate Monitoring of Intertidal Oyster Reef Habitat Using Unoccupied Aircraft Systems and Structure from Motion

open access: yesRemote Sensing, 2019
Oysters support an economically important fishery in many locations in the United States and provide benefits to the surrounding environment by filtering water, providing habitat for fish, and stabilizing shorelines. Changes in oyster reef health reflect

Fish and invertebrate use of restored vs. natural oyster reefs in a shallow temperate latitude estuary

open access: yesEcosphere, 2022
Coastal marine habitats continue to be degraded, thereby compelling large‐scale restoration in many parts of the world. Whether restored habitats function similarly to natural habitats and fully recover lost ecosystem services is unclear.

OysterSim: Underwater Simulation for Enhancing Oyster Reef Monitoring

open access: yesOCEANS 2022, Hampton Roads, 2022
Oysters are the living vacuum cleaners of the oceans. There is an exponential decline in the oyster population due to over-harvesting. With the current development of the automation and AI, robots are becoming an integral part of the environmental monitoring process that can be also utilized for oyster reef preservation.

Greens in Regulation: Biodiversity Strategy Implementation Across the Golf Industry

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Although much of the business and biodiversity literature focuses on extractive industries, we turn our attention to the golf industry. Golf courses occupy millions of acres globally, yet biodiversity strategy implementation across the golf industry remains understudied.

Spatial Dynamics of Two Host-Parasite Relationships on Intertidal Oyster Reefs

open access: yesDiversity, 2021
Intertidal reefs comprised of the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) have long experienced habitat loss, altering habitat patch characteristics of size and distance from edge to interior, potentially influencing spatial dynamics of host-parasite ...

Offshore Neopycnodonte Oyster Reefs in the Mediterranean Sea [PDF]

open access: yesDiversity, 2020
Oysters are important ecosystem engineers best known to produce large bioconstructions at shallow depth, whilst offshore deep-subtidal oyster reefs are less widely known. Oyster reefs engineered by Neopycnodonte cochlear (family Gryphaeidae) occur at various sites in the Mediterranean Sea, between 40 and 130 m water depths.
