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

Ecosphere, 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.

Increased Biodiversity Associated With Abandoned Benthic Oyster Farms Highlight Ecosystem Benefits of Both Oyster Reefs and Traditional Aquaculture

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Oyster reefs are structurally complex habitats which are increasingly recognized for their importance in estuarine systems. With over 85% of oyster reefs lost to human activities globally, there is increasing interest in aquaculture to not only meet the ...

Satellite remote sensing reveals a positive impact of living oyster reefs on microalgal biofilm development [PDF]

Biogeosciences, 2018
Satellite remote sensing (RS) is routinely used for the large-scale monitoring of microphytobenthos (MPB) biomass in intertidal mudflats and has greatly improved our knowledge of MPB spatio-temporal variability and its potential drivers.

Structural and Functional Improvements of Coastal Ecosystem Based on Artificial Oyster Reef Construction in the Bohai Sea, China

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
Oyster reefs are gaining more and more attention in marine ranching and coastal ecosystem restoration, but tremendous knowledge gaps still exist. In this study, we developed trophic models for the established artificial oyster reef (EAOR), newly deployed

Metapopulation dynamics of oysters: sources, sinks, and implications for conservation and restoration

Ecosphere, 2021
Metapopulation and source–sink dynamics are increasingly considered within spatially explicit management of wildlife populations, yet the application of these concepts has generally been limited to comparisons of the performance (e.g., demographic rates ...

Intertidal Oyster Reef Mapping and Population Analysis in West Galveston Bay, Texas

Ecologies
Intertidal reefs comprised of the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) are an important habitat type within the estuarine landscape and provide many unique ecosystem services. Within West Galveston Bay (WGB), Texas, this type of reef plays an important

Rotational fishing enables biodiversity recovery and provides a model for oyster (Ostrea edulis) habitat restoration.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Reefs formed by Ostrea edulis, the European native oyster, are among many biogenic habitats that have declined globally. European oyster habitats are now rare, and undisturbed examples have not been described.

OysterSim: Underwater Simulation for Enhancing Oyster Reef Monitoring

OCEANS 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

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.
