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

The Complete Picture: Bird Behavior on Fragmented vs. Intact Oyster Reefs

The presence and health of Florida’s coastal birds rely heavily on the integrity of oyster reefs, which house their crawling and swimming prey items. During this project, we observed bird behaviors across oyster reefs in the Indian River Lagoon (IRL) via
