Abstract: Despite the popularity of recreational fishing, our understanding of the impacts of this type of harvest within marine ecosystems generally lags behind the well‐documented effects of commercial fisheries. Intertidal oysters serve as ecosystem engineers within otherwise soft‐bottom estuaries but may be disproportionately susceptible to harvest because of their sessile nature and accessibility at low tide. We used a Before–After–Control–Impact design to investigate the effects of recreational oyster “picking” on… Show more
