Oyster Restoration Project

The Oyster Restoration Project aims to rebuild and restore oyster populations in coastal areas to benefit ecosystems, water quality, and local economies. Oysters filter large amounts of water, remove pollutants, and create habitats for other marine life. The project involves planting young oysters (spat) onto reefs or structures, monitoring their growth, and protecting them from threats like overharvesting and pollution. Restoring oyster populations helps improve water clarity, support biodiversity, and sustain fisheries, contributing to healthier and more resilient coastal environments.
