Exact excerpt

The study evaluated approximately 1.4 square kilometres of Harris Creek, Chesapeake Bay, Maryland, using underwater video and imaging sonar on restored sanctuary reefs 6–10 years after restoration, unrestored sanctuary reefs, and harvested reefs. Stone plus spat-on-shell reefs had the highest habitat scores and abundance of nekton at least 30 centimetres, while restored reefs had larger but fewer total fish; intermediate size classes and some nekton measures did not vary by treatment.
