Description

Dataset consists of observations of subject matter expert responses regarding levels of five ecosystem services provided by three distinct oyster resources under twelve distinct scenarios according to varying environmental conditions in U.S. Gulf and Atlantic Coast locations.

The purpose of the dataset is to provide useful comparisons across oyster resources of both expected ecosystem service delivery levels and the amount of variation in those levels. These estimates bridge an information gap regarding relative performance of diverse oyster resources along multiple dimensions and should serve as a useful guide for resource managers facing competing interests.

The project is an interdisciplinary effort to better understand ecosystem services provided by diverse oyster resources.  It is a partnership between Mississippi State University, Auburn University, Dauphin Island Sea Lab, and the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources.
