REEFCOVERY: Bringing lost oyster reefs back to life

Did you know that oysters are the ecosystem engineers of the sea? They help recover damaged environments, filter and clean waters, provide a healthy habitat for numerous species, and enable biodiversity. Unfortunately, massive sea exploitation and climate change have endangered the life of our local European flat oyster (Ostrea Edulis), putting at risk
