Modeling Oyster Reef Restoration: Larval Supply and Reef Geometry Jointly Determine Population Resilience and Performance

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021
Restoration of native oyster (Crassostrea virginica) populations in Chesapeake Bay shows great promise after three decades of failed attempts. Population models used to inform oyster restoration had integrated reef habitat quality, demonstrating that ...

Historical dataset details the distribution, extent and form of lost Ostrea edulis reef ecosystems [PDF]

Scientific Data
Ocean ecosystems have been subjected to anthropogenic influences for centuries, but the scale of past ecosystem changes is often unknown. For centuries, the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis), an ecosystem engineer providing biogenic reef habitats, was

Location and reef size drive oyster reef restoration success

Restoration Ecology
Optimizing habitat restoration success requires understanding how restoration location and design enhance the persistence and function of a restored habitat. Particular attention to the configuration of structure and its interaction with landscape‐scale processes is critical for enhancing the habitat value of restored areas.

The phenology of the European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) and its environmental drivers [PDF]

Scientific Reports
The European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) is an ecosystem engineer that structures reef habitats and is a major focus of restoration efforts across Europe, yet its biological rhythms in its habitat remain unknown. These rhythms synchronize physiology with

Determining the best practice for Sydney rock oyster, Saccostrea glomerata, reef restoration and enhanced ecological benefits [PDF]

BMC Ecology and Evolution
Background 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 ...

Comparison of methods for determining biogeochemical fluxes from a restored oyster reef.

PLoS ONE, 2018
Oyster reef restoration can significantly increase benthic denitrification rates. Methods applied to measure nutrient fluxes and denitrification from oyster reefs in previous studies include incubations of sediment cores collected adjacent to oyster ...

Evaluating success of oyster reef restoration [PDF]

, 2015
Oyster reefs are the most degraded marine habitat type, with estimated global losses of 85% from historic abundances. Restoration efforts have increased to restore important ecosystem functions and services associated with oyster reefs.
