ABSTRACT Subtidal oyster (Crassostrea virginica) reefs constructed during in the mid 1990s in Pamlico Sound, North Carolina, initially supported high densities of oysters; however, beginning around 2007, oyster density subsequently declined. Concurrent with the decline in oyster density was an increase in the prevalence of boring sponges (Cliona) on ...

CHARACTERIZATION OF OYSTER-ASSOCIATED BIOGEOCHEMICAL PROCESSES IN OYSTER RESTORATION AND AQUACULTURE
2019Oyster restoration efforts and aquaculture have increased globally to counteract the overall decline of intertidal and subtidal oyster reefs to less than 15% of historical populations. Sustainability efforts to increase oysters in the Chesapeake Bay are of particular interest because oysters provide ecosystem services that may be applied as best ...

Journal of Coastal Conservation, 2014
Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica) in Gulf of Mexico estuaries create complex reefs and provide important habitat for fish and crustaceans. Oyster reefs have suffered historic losses due to overharvest, disease, and degraded water quality, and recent efforts have focused on restoring reefs to benefit nekton populations.

Exploring high intertidal refugia as an approach for the restoration of an intertidal oyster
Marine Ecology Progress Series: Marine organisms frequently inhabit intertidal zones that serve as refuges from pre-dation and competition but are not optimal physiologically. Restoration practitioners working with intertidal species may similarly have to consider whether restoration

Oyster Shell Recycling: Challenges and Opportunities for Reef Restoration
Journal of Shellfish ResearchOyster shell is a critical component for restoring and enhancing oyster reefs. An oyster shell recycling program could partner with 10–40 restaurants to collect between 2,160 and 4,978 cubic yards of oyster shell over a 10-y period. Overall program costs,
