Oysters are the tiny superheroes of coastal environments. They enhance water quality, create habitat, and protect shorelines from storms and erosion. Along the Pacific Coast, native oysters are in decline, due in part to sedimentation, inadequate protection, and unsustainable harvests.

This video gives an overview of the 2011 Collaborative Research project, "Balancing Freshwater Needs in a Changing Environment."

This video discusses a 2011 Collaborative Research project that worked to develop science-based, stakeholder-informed recommendations to support freshwater inflows to maintain healthy estuaries on Texas' central coast.

This draft document describes the blue crab population model developed by a 2011 Collaborative Research project team at Mission-Aransas NERR.

This project overview describes a 2011 Collaborative Research project the developed science-based, stakeholder-informed recommendations for freshwater management along Texas' central coast.

This project overview describes a 2013 Collaborative Research project that developed a protocol to accurately measure suspended sediment concentrations in tidal marshes, enhancing understanding of marsh accretion and informing marsh conservation and restoration.

This project overview describes a 2013 Collaborative Research project that refined and piloted the Climate Change Vulnerability Assessment Tool for Coastal Habitats ("CCVATCH").

This project overview describes a 2011 Collaborative Research project that developed science-based planning tools that decision-makers along the Pacific Coast can use to better site oyster restoration projects.

This project overview describes a 2011 Collaborative Research project that developed decision-support tools to help decision-makers better prepare for climate change impacts.

This dissertation was written by PhD student working at Hudson River Reserve on a project that assessed the buffering services of a coastal marsh in New York.
