Ecomorphodynamics of oyster reefs and their influence on oyster reef morphology
Geomorphology, 2023 Over 85 % of oyster reefs have been lost globally due to disease, overharvesting, global warming, and pollution. Consideration of the ecosystem services provided by healthy oyster reefs (e.g., coastal protection, water purification and carbon burial) has driven recent research and restoration efforts worldwide.

Reef height drives threshold dynamics of restored oyster reefs [PDF]
Marine Ecology - Progress Series, 2017 Nonlinear threshold responses to biotic or abiotic forcing may produce multiple population trajectories dependent upon initial conditions, which can reinforce population recovery or drive local ex - tinction, yet experimental tests of this phenomenon are

Drone lidar-derived surface complexity metrics as indicators of intertidal oyster reef condition [PDF]
Ecological Indicators, 2023 Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) generate structurally complex reef systems that offer diverse ecosystem services. However, there is limited understanding of how reef structure translates into reef condition.

OysterSim: Underwater Simulation for Enhancing Oyster Reef Monitoring
OCEANS 2022, Hampton Roads, 2022 Oysters are the living vacuum cleaners of the oceans. There is an exponential decline in the oyster population due to over-harvesting. With the current development of the automation and AI, robots are becoming an integral part of the environmental monitoring process that can be also utilized for oyster reef preservation.

Oyster Reef Surfaces in the Central Wadden Sea: Intra-Reef Classification and Comprehensive Statistical Description [PDF]
Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022 The Pacific oyster (Magallana gigas) is an invasive species in the Wadden Sea transforming parts of it permanently. M. gigas, as an ecosystem engineer, builds reef structures that are characterized by highly complex and variable surfaces consisting of ...

Determining the best practice for Sydney rock oyster, Saccostrea glomerata, reef restoration and enhanced ecological benefits [PDF]
BMC Ecology and EvolutionBackground Shellfish reef restoration is relatively new in Australia, particularly to intertidal estuarine environments. In late 2019/early 2020 the first large-scale shellfish reef restoration project of the Sydney rock oyster, Saccostrea glomerata was ...
