That sinkin’ feeling: Environmentally induced distress on a disappearing island

Medical Anthropology Quarterly, EarlyView.
Abstract Residents of Tangier Island, Virginia, a subsiding island in the Chesapeake Bay, embody psychosocial dimensions of environmental change. Analysis of ethnographic data shows islanders’ experiences and articulations of anxiety, panic, and despair as “that sinkin’ feeling,” resulting from the stress of living with the long‐term threat of imminent

Vibrio parahaemolyticus Foodborne Illness Associated with Oysters, Australia, 2021–2022

Emerging Infectious Diseases
The bacterium Vibrio parahaemolyticus is ubiquitous in tropical and temperate waters throughout the world and causes infections in humans resulting from water exposure and from ingestion of contaminated raw or undercooked seafood, such as oysters.

Infectivity and RNA Persistence of a Norovirus Surrogate, the Tulane Virus, in Oysters

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Oysters, being filter feeders, can accumulate some human pathogens such as norovirus, a highly infectious calicivirus, most common cause of acute gastroenteritis worldwide.

Restoring Native Oysters in Great Bay Estuary, NH (2011) [PDF]

, 2011
The eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) in New Hampshire’s Great Bay Estuary has declined in the past decades, with local populations at very low densities due primarily to disease, excessive siltation, and past over-harvest.

Seasonal growth and reproductive dynamics of Chondrus ocellatus in relation to shore height in the Korean intertidal zone

Phycological Research, EarlyView.
SUMMARY We examined the seasonal growth and reproduction of the carrageenophyte Chondrus ocellatus in Hakampo, Korea (July 2014–April 2015), to understand its adaptation to environmental variability across the intertidal zone. Three hypotheses were tested: (1) growth is greater at the lower shore with reduced stress; (2) gametophytes dominate at the ...

Black mangrove growth and root architecture in recycled glass sand: testing a new substrate for coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
As coastal regions experience accelerating land loss, artificial substrates may be useful in restoration efforts to replenish sediment and facilitate plant colonization. Recycled glass sand is a potential artificial substrate for marsh building due to its sustainability, availability, and similarity to natural substrates.

Functional and structural responses to marine urbanisation

Environmental Research Letters, 2018
Urban areas have broad ecological footprints with complex impacts on natural systems. In coastal areas, growing populations are advancing their urban footprint into the ocean through the construction of seawalls and other built infrastructure.

Opportunities for targeted, small‐scale law reform in marine and coastal restoration

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Across the globe, law reform is being considered as a mechanism to support, guide, and encourage the upscaling of ecological restoration. While high‐profile examples like the European Nature Restoration Law show the value of large‐scale law reform, this scale of law reform will not be feasible or politically tractable everywhere.

Oyster Bed Mapping in the Great Bay Estuary, 2012-2013 [PDF]

, 2013
Six major oyster beds (reefs) in New Hampshire are mapped periodically to assess wild oyster populations in the Great Bay Estuary. Data on the spatial extent of the beds are combined with density and other measures to estimate the abundances of live ...
