Will’s research on the relationship between salinity and oyster population dynamics  in Apalachicola Bay, Florida (including Kimbro et al. and Pusack et al.) was brought up during oral arguments in the matter of Florida vs. Georgia before the U.S. Supreme Court. Long story short, more water from Georgia would have mitigated the 2012 oyster fishery collapse, and Florida did not overharvest oysters prior to 2012.
