Can habitat restoration be redundant? Response of mobile fishes and crustaceans to oyster reef restoration in marsh tidal creeks
Expectations of ecological and fisheries benefits of habitat restoration are commonly used to justify its high financial cost; however, few empirical studies that rigorously test these expectations exist. Here, we describe the results of a study designed to quantify the effects of restoring oyster reefs in marsh tidal creeks on the mobile macrofauna. We used a before/after control/impact (BACI)...
متن کاملAccounting for Multiple Foundation Species in Oyster Reef Restoration Benefits
Many coastal habitat restoration projects are focused on restoring the population of a single foundation species to recover an entire ecological community. Estimates of the ecosystem services provided by the restoration project are used to justify, prioritize, and evaluate such projects. However, estimates of ecosystem services provided by a single species may vastly under-represent true provis...
متن کاملRestoration of a Temperate Reef: Effects on the Fish Community
The extraction of large boulders from coastal reefs for construction of harbours and coastal protection has led to habitat degradation for local fish populations through the destruction of cavernous reefs and changes in macroalgal cover resulting from a loss of substrate. The temperate reef at Læsø Trindel in Kattegat, Denmark, has now been re-established with the aim of restoring the reef’s hi...
متن کاملRelative value of oyster reef as habitat for estuarine nekton in Galveston Bay, Texas
Biogenic reefs formed by dense aggregations of the eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica are a dominant feature in most estuarine systems along the Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico. Oyster reefs are complex in their structural nature and have long been recognized for their potential habitat value. However, relatively few studies have characterized nekton abundance in this complex habitat type, and li...
