Restore America’s Estuaries Summit to Examine Management Approaches for a Changing Climate
A salt marsh meadow hugs the shore of Apalachicola Bay, within the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve in Florida’s Panhandle. The bay was once a top oyster fishery until environmental degradation led to a steep decline in oyster populations and ultimately a halt to harvesting in 2020. Now staff from the reserve and officials from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration aim to accelerate the bay’s recovery via an updated reserve management plan.
