Navigating US #mariculture policy can be hard. New @RassterLab postdoc @bess_ruff is here to make it easy! Partnering with @SGLawCenter, Bess is building a database of coastal states’ mariculture policies–a one stop shop for info about permits, leases, regulations & more! (1/2)

Check out some cool drone footage from master's student @Jenny_Bueno_ ! The drone is capturing imagery of #oysterreefs during low tide at Indian Lagoon in Apalachicola Bay, FL. Jen's work explores the spatial and temporal patterns of the Bay's intertidal oyster reefs. Stay tuned!

New #urbanecology pub! People want variety in their yard plants, but only those with higher income were able to achieve higher flower biodiversity and colorfulness. Also managed to get the phrase "landscape mullet" (@DextraordinaryH ) into the paper authors.elsevier.com/sd/arti…
