Which attributes of restored oyster reefs provide the best habitat for sportfish?

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Restoration practitioners seek to restore oyster ecosystems as habitat designed for species targeted by recreational fisheries, but they require information on which specific habitat parameters of oyster reefs are preferred by fish.

Hydrological restoration of coastal wetlands: optimizing site selection and implementation strategies

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal wetlands, despite their importance in providing ecosystem services like carbon sequestration, water quality improvement, and coastal protection, have suffered extensive degradation and loss in the past two centuries. Hydrological restoration of these degraded ecosystems presents an emerging opportunity for mitigating and ...

From shell to shelter: investigating small reef fish abundance on degraded seafloor restored with mussels and shell material

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Reef‐forming shellfish facilitate biodiversity through providing structural complexity in benthic habitats. Globally, reef‐forming shellfish have been overharvested to near extirpation, with a corresponding loss in biodiversity. Mussel shell material, an aquaculture by‐product, has the potential to rehabilitate ecosystem services ...

Testing coir (coconut) fiber as a novel, biodegradable material for coral reef restoration: coir interactions with larval and juvenile corals

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coral populations have declined in recent decades, largely due to anthropogenic climate change. In response, coral restoration projects are being implemented, and rubble stabilization is one such approach. Rubble beds form when dead coral fragments accumulate on the seafloor and can be mobilized by water flow.

Global meta‐analysis highlights recovery of animal functional diversity in restored coastal ecosystems

Restoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal ecosystems have experienced widespread global degradation, prompting substantial investment in restoration. While structural recovery is well documented, whether restoration reestablishes the functional diversity (FD) of animal communities and how recovery unfolds through time remains poorly resolved. Objectives This study

Assessment of the community status of seagrass bed and its relationship with environmental characteristics in Wenchang, Hainan Island, China

Frontiers in Marine Science
As one of the typical coastal ecosystems, seagrass bed has important ecological service functions. In order to enrich the basic data of multispecies tropical seagrass beds, the main controlling factors affecting the community status of seagrass were ...

Thermal Stress Is Associated With Fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica Meadows

Global Change Biology Communications, Volume 1, Issue 3, September 2026.
By combining a physiological model of cumulative thermal stress with AI‐based seagrass mapping, we show that chronic sublethal warming is associated with fragmentation of Mediterranean Posidonia oceanica meadows and increased regression risk by 2100. ABSTRACT Posidonia oceanica meadows, which underpin Mediterranean coastal ecosystems, are undergoing ...

Beyond Blue Carbon: Estimating the Value of Ecosystem Services Provided by Coastal Wetlands in Aotearoa New Zealand

New Zealand Journal of Marine and Freshwater Research, Volume 60, Issue 3, September 2026.
Blue carbon ecosystems (BCE), including mangroves, saltmarshes, and seagrasses, provide essential functions and services globally but are increasingly challenged by climate change and other anthropogenic activities. In Aotearoa New Zealand (Aotearoa NZ), there is mounting interest in blue carbon as a nature‐based solution to climate change. Quantifying

Conserving seagrass ecosystems to meet global biodiversity and climate goals [PDF]

Despite being relatively neglected until the early 2000s, seagrass ecosystems are now recognized as critical habitats supporting biodiversity and ecosystem services including carbon sequestration, coastal protection and food supply.

Macroalgae and Bivalve Interactions: A Review of Trophic and Feeding Studies to Assess the Contribution of Macroalgal Detritus to Bivalves

Reviews in Aquaculture, Volume 18, Issue 4, September 2026.
ABSTRACT There is growing interest in the co‐culture of macroalgae and filter‐feeding bivalves due to anticipated trophic benefits that may enhance the productivity of both organisms. Detritus from cultured macroalgae has the potential to supplement bivalve diets, yet few studies have directly examined this relationship in co‐culture systems.
