Interspecific facilitation, elevation, and site influence survival and growth for intertidal Ostrea angasi restoration

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction The flat oyster Ostrea angasi previously formed extensive reefs throughout temperate regions of Australia. These reefs were overharvested and destroyed after European colonization and have been functionally extinct for >150 years. While large‐scale subtidal O.

Biogeographic analysis of the Tortugas Ecological Reserve: Examining the refuge effect following reserve establishment [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
Almost 120 days at sea aboard three NOAA research vessels and one fishing vessel over the past three years have supported biogeographic characterization of Tortugas Ecological Reserve (TER).

Effects of external nutrient sources and extreme weather events on the nutrient budget of a Southern European coastal lagoon [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
The seasonal and annual nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), and carbon (C) budgets of the mesotidal Ria Formosa lagoon, southern Portugal, were estimated to reveal the main inputs and outputs, the seasonal patterns, and how they may influence the ecological ...

Seagrass meadows globally as a coupled social–ecological system: Implications for human wellbeing

open access: yesMarine Pollution Bulletin, 2014
Seagrass ecosystems are diminishing worldwide and repeated studies confirm a lack of appreciation for the value of these systems. In order to highlight their value we provide the first discussion of seagrass meadows as a coupled social-ecological system on a global scale.

Tidal reinstatement of coastal wetlands: a global review

open access: yesRestoration Ecology, EarlyView.
Abstract Introduction Coastal wetland restoration is a global priority due to its critical role in enhancing climate resilience and biodiversity. Tidal reinstatement, through the removal or modification of tidal barriers, is a promising method to restore these ecosystems.

Towards Sustainable Development of Small-Scale Fisheries in the Philippines: Experiences and Lessons Learned from Eight Regional Sites [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The focus of this paper is on the governance of small-scale or municipal fisheries in the Philippines in light of the critical role they play in the livelihoods of coastal communities and in the nation as a whole.

Encountering coasts: The contested geographies of young people's coastal citizenship[s]

open access: yesTransactions of the Institute of British Geographers, EarlyView.
Short Abstract This paper examines the contested geographies of young people's citizenship practices and performances in marine and coastal environments. This is important in developing original knowledge of how encounters with new and different coastal places, practices, people, morals and ethics can affect how young people relate meaningfully with[in]

Exploring the Impacts of Seagrass on Coupled Marsh-Tidal Flat Morphodynamics

open access: yesFrontiers in Environmental Science, 2018
Intertidal coastal environments are prone to changes induced by sea level rise, increases in storminess, temperature, and anthropogenic disturbances. It is unclear how changes in external drivers may affect the dynamics of low energy coastal environments

Outwelling from arid mangrove systems is sustained by inwelling of seagrass productivity

open access: yesMarine Ecology Progress Series, 2014
Mangrove forest productivity is normally sustained by nutrients from terrestrial runoff, with freshwater inputs driving the resulting outwelling of production, but arid mangroves lack this input. The movement of material between seagrass beds and mangroves was examined using the stable C and N isotopic composition of organisms, sediments and suspended ...

Potential Impacts of Climate Interventions on Marine Ecosystems

open access: yesReviews of Geophysics, Volume 64, Issue 1, March 2026.
Abstract Rising global temperatures pose significant risks to marine ecosystems, biodiversity, and fisheries. Recent comprehensive assessments suggest that large‐scale mitigation efforts to limit warming are falling short, and all feasible future climate projections, including those that represent optimistic emissions reductions, exceed the Paris ...
