Examining the Life Growing on (and inside) Apalachicola’s Oysters
Microsoft TeamsOyster reefs are widely known to support a plethora of animal life, including crabs and fish. A closer look though, can reveal communities of attached animals including barnacles, sponges, clams, anemones, snails, and more. Various parasites can also be found inside the oysters themselves. While extensive efforts have been given to restoring the oysters of Apalachicola Bay, how these associated communities might affect the oysters, or how the communities might change across Apalachicola, is less known. Lauren will share some of her findings examining the associated invertebrate communities and parasites within the bay, and the potential impact they might have on the condition of the oysters.

Deforestation vs. forest degradation: Why degraded ecosystem function is of greater concern in the Apalachicola
Microsoft TeamsThe Apalachicola River floodplain remains an intact forested ecosystem, but has its functionality been sustained through recent decades and more frequently dry periods? Come learn why monitoring forest species composition is critical for identifying threats to biodiversity and ecosystem function. Also, see what researchers are doing to better understand these dynamics and design ecosystem restoration projects.

Living Shorelines
Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve 108 Island Dr., Eastpoint, FL, United StatesLearn how living shorelines can help stem erosion. While seawalls might seem like a permanent solution, they often increase erosion on neighboring properties and can fail during intense storms. Living shorelines use plants and natural materials to stabilize shorelines, support the surrounding intertidal environment, and create habitats for both aquatic and terrestrial species. Understanding these coastal-friendly landscaping practices can help stabilize your property and stem erosion.
