Anthropogenic, Direct Pressures on Coastal Wetlands (Publication)
...ustainability of the wetlands. There are also changes in the state of the ecology, such as loss of saltmarsh plants and seagrasses, and mangrove trees, in tropical wetlands. Changes in the structure and function of the wetland ecosystems affect eco...
Assessing ecological impacts of shrimp and sewage effluent: Biological indicators with standard water quality analyses (Publication)

Barnegat Bay-Little Egg Harbor Estuary: Case study of a highly eutrophic coastal bay system (Publication)
... blooms, altered benthic invertebrate communities, impacted harvestable fisheries, and loss of essential habitat (i.e., seagrass and shellfish beds). Similar problems are evident in other shallow lagoonal estuaries of the Mid-Atlantic and South Atl...
Blooms of the cyanobacterium Lyngbya majuscula in coastal waters of Queensland, Australia (Publication)

Development of Indicators for Assessing and Monitoring Nutrient Influences in Coastal Waters (Publication)
...oyed in this study included nitrogen stable isotope ratios (delta 15N) of natural marine flora communities (macroalgae, seagrasses and mangroves), which were used to infer nitrogen source and fate. In regions devoid of macrophytes, an active biolog...

...se amplitude modulated (PAM) fluorometry assessments of photosynthetic capacity. The effects of L. majuscula on various seagrasses in the bloom region were also assessed with repeated biomass sampling. The bloom commenced in January 2000 following...
Effect of 'brown tide' shading on eelgrass (Publication)
...), and reduced the light available to plants living on the bottom of the embayments. In particular, the temperate water seagrass Zostera marina L. (eelgrass) was affected by the reduced light availability due to the “brown tide” algal blooms. ... B...
Effects of nutrient enrichment in the nation's estuaries: A decade of change (Publication)
...ptoms are more prevalent in systems with longer residence times, such as coastal lagoons. The successful restoration of seagrass in Tampa Bay is encouraging though future management to sustain the recovery will be difficult given expected populatio...
Environmental Management of Aquaculture Effluent: Development of Biological Indicators and Biological Filters (Publication)
