Oyster Reef Restoration

Oyster reef restoration involves rebuilding or enhancing oyster habitats to support healthy oyster populations. This process often includes installing structures like oyster reefs, which provide a substrate for oysters to attach and grow. Restoring oyster reefs benefits the environment by improving water quality—since oysters filter water—and providing habitat for various marine species. It also helps protect coastlines from erosion. Overall, oyster reef restoration restores ecological balance, supports local fisheries, and contributes to healthier, more resilient coastal ecosystems.
