in mussel reefs and the ecosystem services they provide. The success of these efforts relies …

In recent decades, mussel beds in the northern Atlantic and Scandinavia have declined
rapidly in extent due to anthropogenic impacts, similar to many other marine habitats. In this …

Restoration of mussels typically focuses on either subtidal or intertidal habitats, although it is
important to consider the full historical range of a species. However, it remains unclear how …

Global declines in wild mussel populations and production have been linked to the impacts
of climate change and pollution. Summer die-offs of mussels (Perna canaliculus), spat …

The decline in coastal shellfish populations, attributed to anthropogenic stressors such as
harvesting via dredging, can deplete the seabed of vital biogenic habitat. This removal of …

The assessment of site suitability is a crucial step for informing future successful species
reintroductions. It ensures that translocated species have the highest chance of survival in …

Mussel reefs have been decimated globally as a result of overharvesting, climate change,
invasive species, and disease leading to the proliferation of conservation and restoration …
