Reducing risks of maintenance dredging on freshwater mussels (Unionidae) in the Big Sunflower River, Mississippi
Article Abstract:
Freshwater mussels (family: Unionidae) in the Big Sunflower River, Mississippi, were studied over several years using qualitative, semi-quantitative, and quantitative methods, in order to investigate risks of maintenance dredging on the species. The aim of the study was to identify important mussel resources, to devise methods for minimizing dredging risks, and to identify habitat improvement features.

Multi-criteria natural resource management with preferentially dependent decision criteria
Article Abstract:
A study shows how multi-criteria natural resource management problems can be analyzed in a case involving dependent decision criteria with the proposed models based on pair-wise comparisons of items in the ratio scale and statistical regression analysis data. The models proposed allow a more realistic description of the decision problem in multi-criteria natural resource management.
