11th International Coral Reef Symposium Proceedings, Bernhard Riegl (Editor), Richard E. Dodge (Editor)

ICRS Conference Proceedings

A defining theme of the 11th International Coral Reef Symposium was that the news for coral reef ecosystems are far from encouraging. Climate change happens now much faster than in an ice-age transition, and coral reefs continue to suffer fever-high temperatures as well as sour ocean conditions. Corals may be falling behind, and there appears to be no special silver bullet remedy. Nevertheless, there are hopeful signs that we should not despair.

Reef ecosystems respond vigorously to protective measures and alleviation of stress. For concerned scientists, managers, conservationists, stakeholders, students, and citizens, there is a great role to play …

Landscape-Level Impacts Of Shoreline Development On Chesapeake Bay Benthos And Their Predators, Rochelle D. Seitz, Amanda S. Lawless Jan 2008

Landscape-Level Impacts Of Shoreline Development On Chesapeake Bay Benthos And Their Predators, Rochelle D. Seitz, Amanda S. Lawless

VIMS Books and Book Chapters

Within the coastal zone, waterfront development has caused severe loss of shallow-water habitats such as salt marshes and seagrass beds. Little is known about the impact of habitat degradation and ecological value of subtidal shallow-water habitats, despite their prevalence. In coastal habitats, bivalves are dominant benthic organisms that can comprise over 50% of benthic prey biomass and are indicative of benthic production. We examined the effects of shoreline alteration in shallow habitats by contrasting the benthos of the subtidal areas adjacent to natural marsh, riprap, and bulkhead shorelines in three Chesapeake Bay subestuaries that differ in the level of shoreline …
