@BaltimoreBanner ran a story yesterday on our recent work on restored oyster reefs that support more organisms, more parasites, and create more 3D habitat! @SERCfisheries@IMET_USMD https://t.co/fY4JnDpRei
Some more coverage on our work on biodiversity on restored oyster reefs: "Reefs in no-take reserves host more oysters, macroparasites, and macrofauna than harvested reefs across an estuarine salinity gradient" - open access @MEPS_IR - https://t.co/N1HGQJN8jF
New discovery from our @sercfisheries lab and @UMBC! Oyster sanctuaries host higher numbers of #oysters and other marine animals, like blue crabs & rockfish—and two parasites, the boring sponge & mud blister worm. Here's why that may be a good thing: https://t.co/A0W90SFDkg
Check out our new paper @MEPS_IR "Reefs in no-take reserves host more oysters, macroparasites, and macrofauna than harvested reefs across an estuarine salinity gradient" - PLUS a nice press release from @SERCfisheries colleagues
🌟#Publication Alert! 🌟
Check out our new paper on #oysters in @MEPS_IR! Oyster reefs that have been restored or deemed a sanctuary are showing higher abundance and diversity of species calling it home. #HealthyOysterGoals#ChesBay
