Assessing the success of ongoing efforts to restore the Florida Everglades to a more balanced ecosystem relies on a wide range of metrics. Oysters are mollusks that filter the water around them to feed, and oyster species in the Everglades are thus good indicators of water quality there and progress being made in Everglades restoration.
This talk will introduce the biology of oysters and explain the environmental conditions that allow them to thrive and why they are a good metric for water quality. Dr. Geiger will also outline some of the threats to oysters and provide an overview of some of the results and changes that scientists have
observed in oyster populations in the Florida Everglades.
Stephen Geiger, Ph.D., is a Research Scientist studying Molluscan Fisheries/Marine Fisheries Biology at the Fish & Wildlife Research Institute of the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. His
decades of research in Florida have explored oyster and bay scallop restoration and monitoring, gastropod abundance and distribution, and beach renourishment, among other subjects.
This presentation is made possible by the Sam and Francis Bailey Clean Water Education Center.
