Oyster Reef Restoration Project

The Oyster Reef Restoration Project aims to restore natural oyster reefs in coastal ecosystems. Oysters play a crucial role in improving water quality, providing habitat for marine life, and protecting shorelines from erosion. The project typically involves planting young oysters, known as spat, onto constructed reef structures. This helps rebuild populations and supports biodiversity. Restoring these reefs also enhances local fisheries and promotes healthier marine environments. Overall, the project contributes to ecological balance and the sustainability of coastal communities, benefiting both the environment and local economies.
