oysters restoration

Oyster restoration involves planting new oysters or their shells in damaged or degraded areas of the water to help rebuild oyster populations. Oysters are vital for healthy aquatic ecosystems because they filter water, improve water quality, provide habitat for other marine life, and support local economies. Restoration efforts may include planting juvenile oysters (seeds), adding shells or artificial structures as habitats, and protecting existing oyster beds from threats like pollution and overharvesting. These efforts help restore ecological balance, improve water clarity, and ensure sustainable oyster populations for future generations.
