Twelve principles for successful governance of community‐based coastal marine restoration

Conservation Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Global agreements, such as the Global Biodiversity Framework, call for urgent, large‐scale action to halt biodiversity loss through a whole‐of‐society approach. Community‐based restoration can play a crucial role in achieving this goal, yet there remains limited understanding of what makes these projects effective and sustainable.

Integrating Larval Dispersal, Permitting, and Logistical Factors Within a Validated Habitat Suitability Index for Oyster Restoration

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2018
Habitat suitability index (HSI) models are increasingly used to guide ecological restoration. Successful restoration is a byproduct of several factors, including physical and biological processes, as well as permitting and logistical considerations ...

Oyster reef restoration - aquaculture interactions: maximizing positive synergies

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2023
Globally, oyster reef restoration is on the rise. In many instances, restoration is occurring alongside established oyster aquaculture industries that grew to prominence following oyster reef demise. This paper examines the potential positive and negative interactions between the two industries and identifies key factors that may promote positive ...

The Optimism Ignited by Nature‐Based Solutions: Mobilizing Public Support and Policy Champions in a “First‐Ever” Oyster Reef Restoration Project

Culture, Agriculture, Food and Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In recent years, a major push to restore oyster reefs has helped to revive the marine environments that were depleted in South Australia. Categorized as “Nature‐based Solutions” (NbS) that foster the return of biodiversity, these efforts have led to pockets of environmental optimism while countering an otherwise gloomy marine health forecast ...

Success of constructed oyster reefs in no-harvest sanctuaries: implications for restoration [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2009
ABSTRACT: Dramatic declines in populations of the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica are a symptom of degradation in many US Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico estuaries. We sampled 94 oyster reefs (88 constructed, 6 natural) within 11 no-harvest sanctuaries in estuaries of central and northern North Carolina, USA, to evaluate the success of oyster ...

Shifting linguistic patterns in oyster restoration news articles surrounding the Deepwater Horizon disaster

Frontiers in Conservation Science, 2023
Populations of the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica are declining globally. With the loss of oysters, sustainable provision of natural resources and ecosystem services are also threatened.

Identifying thermally tolerant bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana) source populations for restoration under climate change

Journal of Phycology, EarlyView.
Abstract Kelp forests are declining in many parts of the world due to climate change and other stressors. Restoration is one solution to return kelp forests to places where they have been lost, yet continually warming oceans may necessitate the identification of thermally tolerant strains to facilitate the long‐term success of kelp restoration.

Data_Sheet_1_Modeling Oyster Reef Restoration: Larval Supply and Reef Geometry Jointly Determine Population Resilience and Performance.pdf

, 2021
Restoration of native oyster (Crassostrea virginica) populations in Chesapeake Bay shows great promise after three decades of failed attempts. Population models used to inform oyster restoration had integrated reef habitat quality, demonstrating that ...

Oyster Reef Restoration May Influence Local Sediment Geochemistry Prior to Introduction of Live Oysters [PDF]

, 2023
Oyster reefs provide crucial ecosystem services, but their populations are declining worldwide. Oyster reef restoration efforts are underway in many regions, including the Gulf Coast of the United States, where the intertidal oyster populations of the ...
