Bootstrap methods can help evaluate monitoring program performance to inform restoration as part of an adaptive management program [PDF]
PeerJ, 2021 The objective of many fish and wildlife restoration programs is to utilize management actions to change the state of a system. Because restoration programs are often expensive, iteratively assessing whether the restoration is having the desired outcome ...

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

Restored oyster reefs match multiple functions of natural reefs within a decade
Conservation Letters, 2022 Abstract Global declines of foundation species have reduced ecological function at population, community, and ecosystem levels. Restoration of foundation species promises to counter such losses, despite unknown recovery timelines, undefined benchmarks, and uncertainty about whether restored ecosystems approximate natural ones.

Meta‐analysis reveals drivers of restoration success for oysters and reef community
Ecological Applications, 2023 AbstractRestoration aims to reverse the global declines of foundation species, but it is unclear how project attributes, the physical setting, and antecedent conditions affect restoration success. In coastal seas worldwide, oyster reef restoration is increasing to counter historical habitat destruction and associated declines in fisheries production ...

Assessing shoreline exposure and oyster habitat suitability maximizes potential success for sustainable shoreline protection using restored oyster reefs [PDF]
PeerJ, 2015 Oyster reefs provide valuable ecosystem services that contribute to coastal resilience. Unfortunately, many reefs have been degraded or removed completely, and there are increased efforts to restore oysters in many coastal areas.

Oyster reef restoration: substrate suitability may depend on specific restoration goals [PDF]
, 2015 Oyster reef restoration is an increasingly used tool to combat habitat loss and restore ecosystem services that reefs provide. A limited supply of oyster shell for restoration practices has prompted research focused on understanding the value of ...

Greens in Regulation: Biodiversity Strategy Implementation Across the Golf Industry
Business 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.
