Habitat characteristics drive fish recruitment enhancement in threatened coastal nursery habitats
Journal of Applied Ecology, Volume 63, Issue 5, May 2026.Our findings underscore the importance of habitat attributes and physical settings as the key predictors of fish enhancement across threatened coastal nurseries of North America. Restoration and management efforts should aim to optimize these factors to maximize fish recruitment potential amid ecosystem degradation. Abstract Structured coastal habitats
