Bio-engineered oyster reef monitoring, Eloi Bay, Louisiana, 2017-2019

September 2, 2020

This dataset includes annual encrusting organism (oyster, mussel, barnacle) counts and density (ind m-2), and oyster shell height (mm) data for five bio-engineered reef designs: OysterbreakTM (OB), Wave Attenuating Device (WAD), Reef Ball (rows of two, RFB2; rows of three, RFB3), ReefBLK? (RBL), and ShoreJAX (JAX). Data were collected during winter months (i.e., December-January) in 2017, 2018, and 2019 in low water when reefs were partially exposed.
