Abstract: Globally, increasing coastal development requires construction and maintenance of transportation infrastructure that affects terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Construction of bridges as part of transportation networks introduces a series of risks to aquatic species near construction zones. We reviewed relevant literature and obtained exemplary case studies to synthesize potential effects of bridge construction on the West Indian manatee (Trichechus manatus), a nearshore megafauna species vulnerable to human … Show more

“…Detailed information on species occurrence and habitat use will enable identifying critical resources along expanding migratory routes and implementing location-specific strategies to reduce injury and mortality (Hieb et al, 2017). For example, manatees may be at greater risk from vessel interactions and strikes, other types of human interaction (Hieb et al, 2017(Hieb et al, , 2021, and cold stress associated with migrations to the nGoM. An increasing number of tropical species, from primary producers to large vertebrates like manatees, have recently become established in the nGoM, leading to the hypothesis that these waters will continue to tropicalize, significantly impacting ecosystem functions (Heck et al, 2015).…”

“…Among the most notable recent studies are Todd et al (2014), which investigated the environmental impacts of dredging operations on marine animals and aquatic life, and Erftemeijer et al (2012), which studied the environmental impacts of dredging on corals. As previously stated, in each of the conducted studies, only one or two cases of adverse effects were reported, and almost all the studies proposed viable solutions (Todd et al 2014;Erftemeijer et al 2012;Mymrin et al 2021;Svensson et al 2022;Hieb et al 2021).…”
