The shoreline protection potential of oyster reefs: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Nature-Based Solutions
Nature-based solutions for erosion control that incorporate oyster reefs, alone or in combination with other habitats, are an increasingly popular approach due to their potential to protect shorelines and enhance oyster production. However, the extent to

Estimation of Roughness Height on Oyster Reefs

Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans
AbstractOyster reefs play a crucial role in coastal protection by attenuating waves and currents, thereby contributing to coastal stability. This protective function is largely due to the significantly greater roughness height of oyster reefs than bare sand surfaces.

Experimental study on the effect of an oyster reef on the nonlinear characteristics of irregular waves

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2022
As a “marine ecological engineer”, the oyster reefs not only perform important ecological functions, but also reduce the damage caused by waves to protective structures such as seawalls.

Fish and invertebrate use of restored vs. natural oyster reefs in a shallow temperate latitude estuary

Ecosphere, 2022
Coastal marine habitats continue to be degraded, thereby compelling large‐scale restoration in many parts of the world. Whether restored habitats function similarly to natural habitats and fully recover lost ecosystem services is unclear.

Multispectral low altitude remote sensing of wild oyster reefs

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2021
Although wild oyster reefs are invasive and are trophic competitors, they are an essential component of intertidal rocky reef systems that support a wide range of biodiversity in some intertidal estuaries.

Linking habitat interactions and biodiversity within seascapes

Ecosphere, 2022
Habitat interactions play key roles in regulating biodiversity and ecosystem functions. This is particularly important in aquatic ecosystems, where the flow of water facilitates exchanges of energy and matter.

Estimation of Intertidal Oyster Reef Density Using Spectral and Structural Characteristics Derived from Unoccupied Aircraft Systems and Structure from Motion Photogrammetry

Remote Sensing, 2022
Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) are an important component of the ecology and economy in coastal zones. Through the long-term consolidation of densely clustered shells, oyster reefs generate three-dimensional and complex structures that yield a ...

Gear and survey efficiency of patent tongs for oyster populations on restoration reefs. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2018
Surveys of restored oyster reefs need to produce accurate population estimates to assess the efficacy of restoration. Due to the complex structure of subtidal oyster reefs, one effective and efficient means to sample is by patent tongs, rather than SCUBA,

Remnant oyster reefs as fish habitat within the estuarine seascape

, 2022
Interest in oyster reef conservation and restoration is growing globally, but particularly in Australia, it is unclear the extent to which oyster reefs complement (versus replicate) habitat provisioning by other structured habitats in the seascape ...

Oyster reefs' control of carbonate chemistry—Implications for oyster reef restoration in estuaries subject to coastal ocean acidification

Global Change Biology, 2023
AbstractGlobally, oyster reef restoration is one of the most widely applied coastal restoration interventions. While reefs are focal points of processes tightly linked to the carbonate system such as shell formation and respiration, how these processes alter reef carbonate chemistry relative to the surrounding seawater is unclear.
