Can Galveston Bay fisheries benefit from marsh creation?
pgs. 223-229 The loss of estuarine wetlands is detrimental to many important fisheries because of the loss of essential nursery functions provided by these habitats (Boesch and Turner 1984, Minello and Zimmerman 1991). In Galveston Bay, 21% of the tidal marshes and 70% of the submerged aquatic veget...

In Galveston Bay, 21% of the tidal marshes and 70% of the submerged aquatic vegetation has been lost since the 1950's (White et al. 1993). These wetland losses are continuing and are likely to accelerate with higher rates sea level rise.
