Living shorelines offer ecological advantages over hard armoring, including habitat enhancement for fisheries. We used underwater video sampling to compare fisheries populations across restored seascapes and adjacent controls at two living shorelines in Pensacola Bay. Fisheries species, including mangrove snapper, sheepshead, and mullet, are abundant at the site. From 549 replicate 10-minute videos, we found a far higher probability of encounter of multiple fisheries species on restored habitats within the seascape compared to adjacent unrestored areas, indicating significant habitat enhancement. Density values derived from our videos will allow us to calculate the production enhancement resulting from these restorations and the impact on fishery populations. Demonstrating the habitat enhancement values of public restoration projects will help guide future projects to maximize valuable fisheries habitat, foster a greater appreciation for living shorelines, and encourage broader public support and uptake.
