Evaluating ecosystem services in urban salt marshes: Assessing vulnerability to sea-level rise and implications for coastal management Open
This study presents a spatio-temporal framework that integrates ecosystem services into ecological risk assessment to evaluate the ecosystem service vulnerability of urban salt marshes to sea-level rise. The model was tested at Belle Isle …

Spatial and temporal genetic stock composition of river herring bycatch in southern New England Atlantic herring and mackerel fisheries Open
Anadromous river herring (alewife and blueback herring) persist at historically low abundances and are caught as bycatch in commercial fisheries, potentially preventing recovery despite conservation efforts. We used newly established singl…
How Much Marsh Restoration Is Enough to Deliver Wave Attenuation Coastal Protection Benefits? Open
As coastal communities grow more vulnerable to sea-level rise and increased storminess, communities have turned to nature-based solutions to bolster coastal resilience and protection. Marshes have significant wave attenuation properties an…

A Review of River Herring Science in Support of Species Conservation and Ecosystem Restoration Open
River herring—a collective name for the Alewife Alosa pseudoharengus and Blueback Herring A. aestivalis—play a crucial role in freshwater and marine ecosystems along the Eastern Seaboard of North America. River herring are anadromous and r…
Resistance, resilience, and recovery of salt marshes in the Florida Panhandle following Hurricane Michael Open
Characterizing the fragility, resistance, and resilience of marshes is critical for understanding their role in reducing storm damages and for helping to manage the recovery of these natural defenses. This study uses high-resolution aerial…
Conservation practice insights from a comparative case study of two shoreline stabilization projects in Boston Harbor, <span>MA</span> Open
As sea levels rise and the frequency of flooding events increases, so do efforts to stabilize coastal shorelines. Nature‐based solutions to shoreline stabilization (“green” solutions, as opposed to traditional “grey” shoreline hardening) h…
