Explore relationships between fisheries yield and primary production, wetland area and shrimp production, marsh vegetation and brown shrimp catch, and more. Analyze how river discharge, sea level rise, and spatial variations impact harvest in wet and dry years. Investigate correlations between landings, sea level rise residuals, and species variability.

Relationship between fisheries yield and primary production estimates
Relationship between % marsh vegetation and % brown shrimp caught inshore. Relationship between commercial landings and the ratio of intertidal wetland and open water areas.
Relationship between river discharge and catch (wt) of demersal fishes
Spatial variation in the river discharge and harvest relationship Variation in relationship in wet vs dry years
Morris et al. 1990 Positive relationship between relative sea level rise and annual Spartina production Plot of mean sea level rise in SC and TX illustrates spatial differences
Morris et al. 1990 Seasonal variation in sea level rise by year. Correlation between landings and sea level rise by area.
Morris et al. 1990 Relationship between landings and residuals of sea level rise by year, area and species. Mean sea level rise explains 9-20% of the variability in landings.
