Restored eelgrass ( <i>Zostera marina</i> L.) as a refuge for epifaunal biodiversity in mid-Western Atlantic coastal bays

2016-05-23

Abstract excerpt

As nearshore ecosystems are increasingly degraded by human activities, active restoration is a critical strategy in ensuring the continued provision of goods and services by coastal habitats. After being absent for nearly six decades, over 1800 ha of the foundational species eelgrass ( Zostera marina L.) has been successfully reestablished in the coastal bays of the mid-western Atlantic, USA, but nothing is known...
