Ruiz\u2019s portion of the work focuses on characterizing fish assemblages on the reefs using ARIS sonar data, which is complimented by Brooks\u2019 work, investigating the fish soundscape on the reefs. Izaguirre\u2019s work is focusing on oyster demographics such as oyster settlement, growth and survival. This work will help determine if the restored reefs are meeting ecological performance goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/cmast.ncsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/OysterSanctuaries1.5-byMelissaLaCroce-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6095\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cmast.ncsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/OysterSanctuaries1.5-byMelissaLaCroce-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/cmast.ncsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/OysterSanctuaries1.5-byMelissaLaCroce-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cmast.ncsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/OysterSanctuaries1.5-byMelissaLaCroce-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/cmast.ncsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/OysterSanctuaries1.5-byMelissaLaCroce-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/cmast.ncsu.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/OysterSanctuaries1.5-byMelissaLaCroce-2048x1152.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NC State master\u2019s student Rebecca Ruiz, Ph.D. student John Brooks, and master\u2019s student Jess Izaguirre (pictured left to right), are working on a project to monitor newly built and in-progress oyster sanctuaries in Pamlico Sound.
