Improving Living Resource Responses in Ecosystem Restoration: An Illustration Using the Chesapeake Bay

JAWRA Journal of the American Water Resources Association, Volume 62, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Two key components of large‐scale ecosystem restoration planning are: (1) prioritizing individual projects based on how living resources respond, and (2) selecting and analyzing indicators of living resources to assess restoration progress and performance.

These Boots Are Made for Walking: Sex‐Specific Physiological and Metabolomic Strategies Reflect Male‐Skewed Vulnerability to Ocean Warming in a Keystone Amphipod

Global Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 6, June 2026.
Sex‐specific responses to ocean warming shape thermal tolerance, fitness, and metabolomic profiles in a keystone amphipod. Females exhibit higher thermal limits and broader safety margins than males. Warming reduces survival and reproductive output, while it increases offspring size.

Do Small, Patchy, Constructed Intertidal Oyster Reefs Reduce Salt Marsh Erosion As Well As Natural Reefs?

, 2010
One ecological service that oyster reefs provide is stabilization of shorelines through reduced wave energy and erosion from boat traffic, storms, and predominant wind direction.

Vegetal Infrastructure: Rwanda's Eucalyptus Boom and the Material Politics of Tree Planting as a ‘Nature‐Based Solution’

The Geographical Journal, Volume 192, Issue 2, June 2026.
Short Abstract This article analyses the political ecology of Rwanda's eucalyptus boom, situating it as a site of tension within a global push towards ‘nature‐based solutions’. It develops the concept of vegetal infrastructure, demonstrating how certain tree species become legible to global environmental governance while making local social ...

Sustainability and traceability in marine cultured pearl production [PDF]

, 2014
For centuries, wild pearl oysters and mussels were fished in the quest for natural pearls and shell material. This eventually led to the drastic overexploitation of oyster stocks in many areas of the globe.

Recycled Concrete Aggregate for Oyster Aquaculture

Waste
Recycled Concrete Aggregate (RCA) of the chemical and biological effects must be understood to avoid potential adverse impacts to the bay’s aquatic ecosystem. RCA application as a base material for oyster reefs did not adversely affect oyster spat growth

Into the Wild: Farm‐Derived Energy and Nutrients Enter Marine Food Webs With Carrying Capacity Implications for Aquaculture Management

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
ABSTRACT Marine aquaculture is expanding globally, yet its interactions with surrounding ecosystems remain complex and insufficiently understood. This study reviews the fluxes of energy and nutrients from three major aquaculture systems: finfish cages, suspended bivalves, and seaweed farms and considers their implications for ecosystem functioning and ...

Oyster Reefs in Northern Gulf of Mexico Estuaries Harbor Diverse Fish and Decapod Crustacean Assemblages: A Meta-Synthesis

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2019
Oyster reefs provide habitat for numerous fish and decapod crustacean species that mediate ecosystem functioning and support vibrant fisheries. Recent focus on the restoration of eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) reefs stems from this role as a ...

Location and reef size drive oyster reef restoration success

Restoration Ecology
Optimizing habitat restoration success requires understanding how restoration location and design enhance the persistence and function of a restored habitat. Particular attention to the configuration of structure and its interaction with landscape‐scale processes is critical for enhancing the habitat value of restored areas.
