“Oyster populations declined in the early 21st century culminating in a fishery collapse (Pine et al. 2015) and subsequent closure.”

In the citing paper
“The Bay once provided 90% of all oysters harvested in Florida and 10% of oysters harvested nationally (Pine et al. 2015).”

In the citing paper
“Oyster populations within the region fluctuated for decades but began to decline significantly in the mid-2000s and early 2010s (Havens et al. 2013, Camp et al. 2015, Pine et al. 2015, Grizzle et al. 2019).”

In the citing paper
“However, after decades of intense harvest, environmental stressors, and other human-related impacts, the fishery declined steeply in 2012, leading to a declaration of a Federal Fisheries Disaster in 2013 (Camp et al. 2015, Pine et al. 2015).”

In the citing paper
“Eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica reefs in the northern Gulf of Mexico have experienced significant changes due to habitat modification, hurricanes, harvesting, changing climate, and oil spills (Seavey et al. 2011;Pollack et al. 2012;Pine et al. 2015;Grabowski et al. 2017).”

In the citing paper
“Starting as a small project in 2010, Lone Cabbage Reef restoration efforts grew rapidly in scale after the 2012 collapse of the largest commercial oyster fishery in Florida (Apalachicola Bay; Pine et al. 2015) and the availability (also in 2012) of restoration funds following the DWH oil spill.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
