Description:The Mississippi Sound has seen a recent surge in freshwater flooding events due to multiple openings of the Bonnet Carré spillway and historic levels of coastal rainfall. Declines in oyster landings and massive die-offs have been documented in the presence of water quality stressors associated with these flooding events (i.e. low salinity/hypoxia/acidification). In 2020, a team of researchers at the University of Mississippi received funding from the Mississippi Based RESTORE Center of Excellence (MBRACE) to study the effects of stressors on early life stages of oysters. This policy brief summarizes the research team’s findings and highlights the importance of these findings for oyster restoration policy in Mississippi.
