63217 Project: Petrolia, Oyster Planning Tool Data Set Published / External 56760 FY17 Project In Work 2017 2020 This project will design, test, and put into use a decision support tool to assist resource managers and oyster farmers in optimizing oyster resources in the State of Mississippi. The State of Mississippi has established an ambitious goal to produce one million sacks of oysters per year and to increase the ecological and economic benefits to the state from healthy and productive natural oyster reefs and farms. This project draws on knowledge from economics, ecology, marine extension, and resource management to design, test, and put into use a decision support tool to optimize the restoration and use of oyster resources in Mississippi. This approach recognizes that oysters provide a number of ecological and economic benefits and decisions about their management are most informed when the entire suite of benefits is considered. This project will provide oyster restoration practitioners, resource managers, and farmers with a tool to minimize the downside risk and maximize the benefits from oyster restoration, planting, and farming. This project will demonstrate how combining an economic approach with ecological knowledge can lead to more informed management decisions. This project is led by Mississippi State University in partnership with Auburn University, Dauphin Island Sea Lab, and Mississippi Department of Marine Resources. This project is funded by the NOAA National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS) RESTORE Science Program under award NA17NOS4510090 to Mississippi State University. This work was also supported by the National Institute of Food and Agriculture and the Mississippi Agricultural and Forestry Experiment Station via Multistate Project W-4133 “Costs and Benefits of Natural Resources on Public and Private Lands: Management, Economic Valuation, and Integrated Decision-Making”, (Hatch Project MIS-033140).

No Unknown Yes No 2 years Other 2 years NCCOS IT Policy The team will begin by determining the type and extent of benefits delivered by three distinct oyster cultivation practices – restored oyster reefs, traditional shell plantings, and off-bottom oyster farms – and assign a monetary value to both their market and non-market benefits. They will then develop budgets of construction and maintenance costs for restored reefs, plantings, and farms. Finally, the team will work in conjunction with the Mississippi Department of Marine Resources to develop and test a decision support tool that directs the user through multiple criteria to select the portfolio of oyster cultivation practices that minimizes downside risk while maximizing benefits. 1.
