Cover Story: The Living Docks program is a citizen–science initiative started at the Florida Institute of Technology for lagoon restoration. Public and private docks are volunteered to become Living Docks, where oyster mats are attached to pilings to provide a natural substrate for benthic organism growth. The community development on the oyster mats boosts water filtration to improve overall water quality and combat anthropogenic effects on the lagoon. The purpose of this project was to model benthic settlement and recruitment of prominent organisms on the Living Dock oyster mats at research sites with specific environmental factors (e.g., temperature, salinity, turbidity). The results provide insight into how conditions surrounding the Living Docks impact benthic growth and can aid in restoration. View this paper
