This project overview describes a 2016 Collaborative Research project that assessed the ecosystem services of shellfish farming in the North Carolina National Estuarine Research Reserve.

These datasets are from an intensive field sampling in and adjacent to aquaculture operations in North Carolina, concentrating on wild shellfish resources and the physical and chemical environment, to assess ecosystem services and potential impacts of the oyster farms.

This project overview describes a 2018 Catalyst project where researchers from Duke University and the North Carolina and Rookery Bay reserves partnered to develop ecosystem services models for coastal habitats.
