Nuanced influences of subtidal artificial shellfish structures on nekton communities in urbanised estuaries

Marine and Freshwater Research, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 76(6)

Published: April 9, 2025

Context Reef installation is increasingly considered for urbanised estuaries to enhance and restore ecological functions. Restoration structures are expected provide nekton habitat benefits, but early outcomes poorly understood. Aims This study assessed assemblage variation associated with an oyster reef restoration site, situated within the anthropogenically modified Port River–Barker Inlet estuary. Methods Nekton communities environmental variables were measured 6 weeks before, 14 months following restoration, at a control site. Modelling was used assess spatio-temporal variation. Key results Video monitoring detected 34 species, harvestable comprising 60.3% of total abundances. assemblages strongly influenced by interannual effects, few being directly related activities. supported non-native gobies during study. Conclusions These suggest that small-scale can have little detectable impact on fish in stages estuarine restoration. distinct seasonal Implications In urban characterised pre-existing artificial structures, small trial reefs may be functionally redundant as habitats until sufficient spatial-scale functional changes achieved.

Are restoration plans missing the target? Land tenure and cyclone risks reshuffles priorities for mangrove restoration

Restoration Ecology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 32(8)

Published: Aug. 20, 2024

Coastal wetlands, vital for fisheries habitats, have suffered extensive losses. Ecosystem restoration offers opportunities to improve fish catch and restore the valuable services these ecosystems provide. Successful is dependent on choosing a site where feasible, which encompasses biophysical, social, governance, logistical, resource factors. However, factors that influence feasibility such as land tenure (governance feasibility) future climate risks (biophysical are often overlooked in quantitative analyses of selection. We ask how spatial priorities change when considering affected by tenure, cyclone risk, both together. Specifically, we analyzed case‐study mangrove Queensland, there interest restoring coastal habitats support habitats. found rank order planning units was highly influenced cyclones, with cyclones changing ranks clustered regions along coastline variably throughout. In benefit expected be high, but risk substantially reduces feasibility, practitioners could consider strategically planting mangroves near established forest selecting resilient species restoration. Formalizing regulations incentives private holders amending legislation easier permitting additional suggestions addressing challenges. Our study emphasizes importance systematic approaches minimize failure.

Achieving at-scale seascape restoration by optimising cross-habitat facilitative processes

Published: Nov. 30, 2024

Abstract Cross-habitat facilitative processes can enhance seascape restoration outcomes but there is uncertainty around the spatial dependencies of these across habitats. We synthesised influence environmental parameters on six underpinning cross-habitat facilitation and identified linear distances over which they operate between All process types occur at commonly used in demonstrating how harnessing scale-up to meet national international goals.
