Webinar Highlights Research to Quantify Fish Production from Coastal Habitats

Just how important are oyster reefs, seagrass beds, and salt marshes for producing economically and ecologically important fish and invertebrate species along the U.S. Atlantic and Gulf Coasts? Watch this webinar to learn about an exciting new project led by Bryan DeAngelis of The Nature Conservancy that seeks to quantify such production and identify certain characteristics that make these habitats especially valuable. This research is being funded by the Lenfest Ocean Program.
