	Bruce Menge Lubchenco/Menge Lab
		The consortium undertakes coordinated research in community ecology, nearshore oceanography, larval ecology, molecular biology, genetics, and ecological physiology in an integrated and interdisciplinary study of the dynamics of rocky intertidal and subtidal assemblages.
		Our current research is focussed on "scaling-up" from the smaller, more traditional spatial and temporal scales addressed in community ecology to larger, longer scales more relevant to the dynamics of communities and ecosystems.

	Urban Habitats -- Evaluating Urban Wetland Restorations: Case Studies for Assessing Connectivity and Function
		Restoration of urban intertidal wetlands such as the Hackensack Meadowlands of New Jersey typically involves the return of tidal flow to diked or gated land, the removal of dredge spoils to lower elevations, and/or the replacement of invasive plant species (e.g., Phragmites australis) with preferred marsh plants.
		Following concepts from del Giorgio and Cole (1998), del Giorgio and Newell (Marsh Ecology Research Program, unpublished; R.I. Newell, personal communication) have proposed bacterial growth efficiency (BGE) as a consistent and sensitive indicator of SOM quantity and quality in salt marshes.
		Four years of succession in a restored wetland in Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge, New York, was not sufficient for McKenna (2003) to detect this shift.

	Anemone distribution and population ecology at Deer Island Archipelago, New Brunswick, Canada (Metridium senile, Tealia felina, Bunodactis stella, Gonactinia prolifera, Diadumene leucolena).
		My objective was to determine the diversity and distribution of anemone species resident in the Deer Island Archipelago, both intertidally and subtidally.
		The sea anemone populations of the Bay of Fundy have never been directly studied, even though they are conspicuous members of both the intertidal and subtidal communities.
		Anemones were found to inhabit the intertidal from the 1 m to the 4 m level above mean low water (MLW), and down to 15 m in the subtidal.

	Carrion Beetles in Yellowstone NP: Introduction
		Another large vertebrate, carrion ecology investigation conducted in the Nearctic region was a short-term observational study of the arthropods associated with harbor seal carcasses located within the intertidal zone along the north eastern coast of the United States (Lord and Berger 1984).
		Unlike terrestrial carrion ecology research, which is primarily anecdotal, their findings were discussed within the perspective of the entire benthic ecosystem, speculating what influences such whale carcasses might have had on the evolution, distributions, and abundances of deep-sea species.
		Because so little is known of terrestrial ecosystem carrion ecology, discussions of the importance of carrion reduction, carrion biomass and carrion communities to terrestrial ecosystem functioning can only be based on inference.

	Aquabait Marine Worms - Research
		Aquabait Marine Worm Farm is a facility that can provide an alternative bait and aquaculture feed onto the market that is not obtained through exploiting the natural stocks and therefore no damage is caused to the fragile intertidal zone.
		The polychaeta (marine worms) play an important role in the ecology of marine communities partly due to the diversity of their structure and function.
		Aquabait understands the environmental implications of disturbing our delicate intertidal zones and estuaries, therefore by providing marine baitworms from our facility we can help to protect these areas and encourage the culture of marine worms in the future.

	OceanPortal : Top > AGENCIES & INSTITUTIONS > National > New Zealand
		Areas of research have included larval fish ecology, the ecology of coastal fishes, the effects of wave exposure on settlement and recruitment of habitat-forming species, the effects of humans on intertidal platforms, and life history studies on a wide range of invertebrates, algae and seagrass.
		This web site is about ‘no-take’ marine reserves — areas of the sea in which there is no fishing at all; as little other human disturbance as can be reasonably arranged, but where people are encouraged to learn about the more natural marine life and processes that this produces.
		The focus is upon the New Zealand experience within such reserves, the practical lessons this has taught us, and the scientific principles that have emerged.

	UBC Department of Botany - People
		Our current research is concerned with: 1) population dynamics of fish communities (specifically rockfish, genus Sebastes) in kelp and seagrass ecosystems; 2) cumulative impacts on intertidal mudflat and seagrass communities; 3) zoning of NMCAs; and 4) interactions of Northern abalone (Haliotis kamtschatkana) with its habitat, competitors and predators.
		My tropical research interests are focused on coral reef ecology, specifically: 1) coral community interactions; 2) coral community recovery following natural and anthropogenic perturbations; 3) the effects of eutrophication and other pollutants on the community structure and function of coral reef systems; and 4) seagrass ecology.
		This is an exciting new field of research that has attracted considerable scientific and public attention.

	Commencement Bay Trustees and Partners Celebrate Habitat Restoration Projects
		In addition to NOAA, the Natural Resource Trustees for Commencement Bay are the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the State of Washington through its departments of Ecology, Natural Resources, and Fish and Wildlife, the Puyallup Tribe of Indians and the Muckleshoot Indian Tribe.
		Middle Waterway: Nearly two acres of intertidal marsh and riparian buffer along one of the few remaining original mudflats within Commencement Bay is re-established by the excavation and regrading of the southwest shore of the waterway.
		Squally Beach: The Trustees are currently establishing an intertidal plant nursery at the Puyallup Tribe of Indians' Conservancy Area in order to increase the estuarine habitats in Commencement Bay and to provide native plants for use in other restoration projects.

		Therefore, in the simple mudflat communities of Bay of Fundy, it is possible that sandpipers, by feeding heavily on Corophium, may have strong top-down effects that contribute to the structure of the intertidal community.
		Hamilton, D.J., Barbeau, M.A. and Diamond, A.W. Shorebirds, snails, and Corophium in the upper Bay of Fundy: predicting bird activity on intertidal mudflats.
		During summer 1999, I conducted manipulative experiments on a mudflat at Avonport, N.S. I used a combination of predator exclosures (to keep birds out) and fertilizer (to stimulate primary production) to determine which forces are most important in structuring the mudflat.
