Louisiana Project
Coupled hydrodynamic-oyster population model for Breton Sound Estuary
August 2012 - August 2014

Participating Agencies
- National Sea Grant Aquaculture Program
This project proposes to develop a spatial, process-driven hydrodynamic and oyster population coupled model which can be used to project and predict the impacts of coastal restoration activities, coupled with climate change (relative sea level rise) that will critically inform decisions related to maintaining sustainable and productive oyster aquaculture.
