TL;DR: It is concluded that the significant biomass of Ulva species on the Pyropia rafts during the harvesting season in radial tidal sand ridges played an important role in the rapid development of blooms in the Yellow Sea.

TL;DR: This chapter provides an overview of the major groups of organisms occupying the dominant habitats of LIS.
Abstract: Many compelling management issues in Long Island Sound (LIS) focus on how organisms respond to stresses such as commercial and recreational harvesting, eutrophication, hypoxia, habitat degradation, invasion of non-native species, ocean acidification, and climate change. In order to address these complex problems, we must first understand the factors controlling biological processes and how organisms interact ecologically. This chapter provides an overview of the major groups of organisms occupying the dominant habitats of LIS.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present essential elements of the Clean Water Act, providing specific examples of current program policies in synchrony or in conflict with the principles of ecosystem-based management, and recommend a general framework and specific actions to support ongoing management of Long Island Sound.
Abstract: Among the first and most densely settled of estuaries in the United States, Long Island Sound presents a trajectory of change common to many estuarine and coastal ecosystems. The challenges to managing this ecosystem for the future also are mirrored in other coastal systems. Improving management of Long Island Sound requires synthesis and integration of the underlying science. The implications of such insights to the ecosystem, including changes that may be driven by broader climate patterns, must be incorporated into regulatory and management approaches. To demonstrate the utility of this analysis, key advancements in the science of the Long Island Sound ecosystem are summarized. To support integration with management, we present essential elements of the Clean Water Act, providing specific examples of current program policies in synchrony or in conflict with the principles of ecosystem-based management. We then recommend a general framework and specific actions to support ongoing management of Long Island Sound.

TL;DR: An alien distromatic Ulva species, which was found in an embayment connected with Long Island Sound, USA, was reported, which is the first time that U. laetevirens is found in the northeast coast of United States and the second record for Atlantic North America.
Abstract: Introduced species may outcompete or hybridize with native species, resulting in the loss of native biodiversity or even alteration of ecosystem processes. In this study, we reported an alien distromatic Ulva species, which was found in an embayment (Holly Pond) connected with Long Island Sound, USA. The morphological and anatomical observations in combination with molecular data were used for its identification to species. Anatomy of collected specimens showed that the cell shape in rhizoidal and basal regions was round and the marginal teeth along the basal and median region were not found. These characteristics were primarily identical to the diagnostic characteristics of Ulva laetevirens Areschoug (Chlorophyta). The plastid-encoding tufA and nucleusencoding ITS1 were used for its molecular identification. Phylogenetic analysis for the tufA gene placed the specimens from Holly Pond in a well-supported clade along with published sequences of U. laetevirens identified early without any sequence divergence. In ITS tree, the sample also formed well-supported clades with the sequences of U. laetevirens with an estimated sequence divergence among the taxa in these clades as low as 1%. These findings confirmed the morpho-anatomical conclusion. Native to Australia, this species was reported in several countries along the Mediterranean coast after the late of 1990s. This is the first time that U. laetevirens is found in the northeast coast of United States and the second record for Atlantic North America.
