Many wetlands harbour highly diverse biological communities and provide extensive
ecosystem services; however, these important ecological features are being altered …

Breaching of coastal causeways and dikes (embankments) is a common method used to
restore estuaries and marshes to a more natural state. Here, we reviewed literature …

Newly settled blue crabs Callinectes sapidus generally grow through a series of early
juvenile instars (developmental stages punctuated by ecdysis) within seagrass and other …

Tidal flow to salt marshes throughout the northeastern United States is often restricted by
roads, dikes, impoundments, and inadequately sized culverts or bridge openings, resulting …

We quantified the effects of invasive Phragmites australis on estuarine faunal communities
using meta-analysis to compare invaded to uninvaded marshes and then evaluated whether …

We evaluated habitat conditions available to infauna and epifauna across a gradient of
shoreline development within the Pascagoula River estuary, Missisippi, to determine …

The purpose of this paper was to examine the vegetative, sedimentary, nekton and
hydrologic response to ecological re-engineering of a freshwater impoundment in the Upper …

Roads, bridges, and dikes constructed across salt marshes can restrict tidal flow, degrade
habitat quality for nekton, and facilitate invasion by non-native plants including Phragmites …

One of the most conspicuous anthropogenic disturbances to estuaries worldwide has been
the alteration of freshwater and tidal influence through the construction of water control …

This study investigated the consequences of passive ecological restoration on a riparian
habitat and on water quality. The restoration plan consists of excluding livestock by …
