TL;DR: The results suggest that human use of herring bait may be subsidizing juvenile lobster diets, thereby enhancing lobster growth and the overall economic value and yield of one of the most valuable fisheries in the U.S.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluate the validity of these assumptions by merging results from 689 surveys of waterfront-property owners in NC with empirical shoreline damage data collected along estuarine shorelines after Hurricanes Irene (2011) and Arthur (2014).

TL;DR: In this paper, the development of Fisheries Ecosystem Plans (FEPs) as a means to implement Ecosystem-based Fisheries Management (EBFM) is reviewed and analyzed, and a blueprint for next-generation FEPS that have the potential to translate EBFM to action is provided.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors collected triplicate intact sediment cores from restored oyster reefs located in different habitat contexts (adjacent to salt marshes, seagrass beds and mudflats), as well as salt marshhes and without reefs (controls), and measured sediment denitrification and fluxes of dissolved inorganic nitrogen were measured under ambient and experimentally elevated water column nitrate levels.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantified physical variables (temperature, salinity, duration and depth of water inundation), oyster reef properties (slope, vertical relief), and oyster recruitment, density, and biomass over a 1500 km scale across the South Atlantic Bight for one year.
