On Tuesday, February 5, 2019, Dr. Brian Silliman gave a presentation on the role of positive interactions between species in boosting ecosystem resilience and recovery. Dr. Silliman then discussed his Lenfest project where he is collaborating with restoration managers and other scientists to integrate this knowledge into coastal restoration design. Dr. Silliman and his team expect that by accounting for positive interactions between species, we could as much as double coastal restoration yields at no additional cost.
