Focused flows to maintain natural nursery habitats

PA Montagna, LD McKinney, D Yoskowitz - 2021 - tamucc-ir.tdl.org
Regulatory standards for environmental flows to estuaries are not common, but they are
required in Texas. This has led to adoption of complex freshwater inflow regimes that reflect …

How a simple question about freshwater inflow to estuaries shaped a career

PA Montagna - 2021 - tamucc-ir.tdl.org
Chance and good luck led to a career studying how freshwater inflow drives estuary
processes. In 1986, someone asked me: How much fresh water has to flow to a bay for it to …

Summary of Recommendations for the Future

PA Montagna, AR Douglas - Freshwater Inflows to Texas Bays and …, 2025 - Springer

Coastal Wetland Habitats in Texas

JC Gibeaut, J Magolan, P Huang… - Freshwater Inflows to …, 2025 - Springer
Coastal wetlands rely on freshwater inflow for two reasons: the water itself that is needed by
plant foundation species and the sediment that helps to build wetland habitats. There is a …
