The spatial relationship between adult eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica populations and recruitment to the benthos of their offspring is not well understood. It is well established that larvae can be widely dispersed, but the relationship between dispersal potential and actual recruitment patterns across the full range of spatial scales involved ...

Oyster reef restoration is increasingly used as a tool for restoring lost ecosystem services in degraded aquatic systems, but questions remain about the efficacy of the practice and when/if restored reefs may behave similarly to intact natural reefs. In this case study, field observations highlighted short- (

Restoring and sustaining oyster reefs: drivers of spatial dynamics in oyster populations
2023Foundation species define ecosystems by building physical structure and sustaining ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, habitat provision, and erosion control. The decline of foundation species has prompted intensified restoration efforts, yet their restoration has yielded inconsistent levels of success.

Habitat assessment of a restored oyster reef in South Texas
Ecological Engineering, 2018Abstract Oyster reefs are important foundational habitats and provide many ecosystem services. A century of habitat degradation has resulted in substantial reductions in the extent and quality of oyster reefs in many estuaries, thus spurring restoration efforts.

Oyster reef restoration: substrate suitability may depend on specific restoration goals
Restoration Ecology, 2016AbstractA limited supply of oyster shell for restoration practices has prompted investigations of alternative substrates used in construction of artificial oyster reefs. The success of oyster reef restoration projects is increasingly focused not only on oyster densities, but also on habitat provisioning for associated fauna.

Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) in Gulf of Mexico estuaries create complex reefs and provide important habitat for fish and crustaceans. Oyster reefs have suffered historic losses due to overharvest, disease, and degraded water quality, and recent efforts have focused on restoring reefs to benefit nekton populations.

ABSTRACT Subtidal oyster (Crassostrea virginica) reefs constructed during in the mid 1990s in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, initially supported high densities of oysters; however, beginning around 2007, oyster density subsequently declined. Concurrent with the decline in oyster density was an increase in the prevalence of boring sponges (Cliona) on ...

Evaluating coastal protection benefits of restored oyster reef designs
2022Wave attack is the driving force behind erosional processes causing marsh retreat in shallow coastal bays. Sea level rise and increased storminess are expected to heighten wave energy, escalating coastal erosion problems and intensifying vulnerability of coastal communities to storm damage.
