Terill Hollweg, who led this 2017 Gulf Star project, will walk you through the guidebook, which summarizes the key findings of a meta-analysis that “compiled data from a diversity of habitats, studies, and areas in the Gulf of Mexico”. In this study, Hollweg set out to improve our understanding of how nekton (i.e., mobile fish and crustaceans) use different GOM coastal habitats and how they respond to the restoration of those habitats. Updating and expanding a previously developed nekton database, Terill and her team conducted analyses to better characterize species utilization of habitats and developed this user-friendly guidebook tailored to resource managers and restoration practitioners.
