Effects of Eelgrass Density on Filter Feeder Biomass and Condition Index in a Multi-habitat Living Shoreline
Quintana is studying how biomass and condition index of filter feeders are responding to different factors such as sedimentation, as well as eelgrass and filter feeder density, in a living shoreline setting. The goal of his research is to use the results of the study to inform restoration management and better protect coastal communities while increasing habitat and biodiversity.
