@BrentBHughes @angeliniecology 50 experimental plots, crab feeding trials, dozens of otter scat samples, and 100’s (likely 1,000’s) of trapped crabs later—Here we are!! (3/3)

@MelissaA_Ward and I’s new paper is out in @ESAEcosphere—“Lessons learned from over thirty years of eelgrass restoration on the US West Coast” where we extract key take-homes from and propose future directions of #eelgrass #restoration along the Pacific Northwest.
Happy to share our pub synthesizing West coast seagrass restoration efforts (@kathrynbeheshti)! We include rates of success, pros/cons of mitigation, recs for best practices, etc. Read the article and blog here:

New paper out! Great collaborative effort led by @StuMunsch — honored to have been a part of this rockstar team of eelgrass ecologists, practitioners, and modelers.
#Eelgrass meadow areal changes from year to year were quantified to inform delineation of protective boundaries that are robust to near-term meadow shifts. Meadows in landscapes with greater stressor regimes may be more dynamic
