Restoration sites that would maximize biodiversity and climate benefits.
Grant Hassinger's insight:
The Scientific Article mentioned in this news paper https://doi.org/10.1038/s41586-020-2784-9 was an interesting read I especially liked how they discovered they could lower the cost 13 times by expecting some of the areas to require amounts of restoration.

Seeds of a New Science - Know Louisiana

LSU's Sea Grant oyster farm in Grand Isle uses cutting edge technology to breed genetically perfect oysters.
PIRatE Lab's insight:
This is something of a marketing piece, but still a good first introduction to the increasingly struggling (but yet incredibly politically powerful) oyster industry in coastal Louisiana.

As with so many of our fisheries, the future of oyster farming is going to be a hybrid of mariculture (usually on the side of boosting propagules/babies) and wild capture (on the adult/final product side), well illustrated by current and future oyster production along all of our coastlines.

Chasing Mud: The 2011 Miss. River Flood

From www.youtube.com - February 19, 2013 3:48 PM
http://gallery.usgs.gov/videos/545 The 2011 Mississippi River flood was among the largest and most damaging to occur along this waterway in the past century....
PIRatE Lab's insight:

Jumpt to 1:55 if you want to skip the ad for USGS, jump to 6 minutes if you want to see some of the sediment cores themselves.  The flood event dropped several cenitmeters of fresh sediment.  We need more floods like this!!!
