"We are excited that this tool has proven useful to guide local restoration efforts such as the Swan Island Oyster Sanctuary restoration project currently underway in North Carolina," Theuerkauf says. "The beauty of this model and approach is that it can be modified for use in a number of different habitat restoration efforts -- such as mangrove restoration in Florida, where the benefits the habitat provides are different from those of oyster reefs, but similarly very valuable."
"Siyakujabulela ukuthi le nsiza ibonakalile ukuthi izosiza ukuhola ukuvuselelwa kwe-Swan Island Oyster Sanctuary kwasendaweni oqhubekayo njengamanje eNorth Carolina," kusho uTheuerkauf.  "Okuhle ngalolu hlelo nendlelakwenza wukuthi ingalungiselelwa ukusetshenziswa ezindaweni zokuhlala ezahlukene zokubuyisa -- njengokubuyiselwa kwezihlahla ze-mangrove eFlorida, lapho izinzuzo ezihlinzekwa yileyo ndawo zehlukile kunalezo zothunge lwembada, kodwa nazo zibaluleke ngokufanayo."
