Enhancement of Ribbed Mussel Populations in Mid-Atlantic Salt Marshes and Living Shorelines for Water Quality Ecosystem Services

Historically, eroding shorelines have been managed through the implementation of hardened infrastructure such as seawalls, bulkheads, and revetments. As these structure are spatially static, they […]

Sediment Accumulation, Elevation Change, and the Vulnerability of Tidal Marshes in the Delaware Estuary and Barnegat Bay to Accelerated Sea Level Rise
Tidal marshes are highly valued habitats, yet are vulnerable to loss from both anthropogenic and natural disturbances including sea-level rise (SLR). Many tidal marshes have […]
