Restoration Potential of Asian Oysters on Heavily Developed Coastlines [PDF]
Restoration Ecology, 2020 Reef-building oysters historically provided the main structural and ecological component of temperate and subtropical coastal waters globally. While the loss of oyster reefs is documented in most regions globally, assessments of the status of Asian ...

Restoring and sustaining oyster reefs: drivers of spatial dynamics in oyster populations
2023Foundation species define ecosystems by building physical structure and sustaining ecosystem services, such as carbon sequestration, nutrient cycling, habitat provision, and erosion control. The decline of foundation species has prompted intensified restoration efforts, yet their restoration has yielded inconsistent levels of success.

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 ...

Marine Environmental Research
Oyster reef restoration faces increasing demand for cost-effective and ecologically functional substrates, particularly in regions with abundant oyster shell waste. This study proposes a modular ecological concrete cube composed of recycled oyster shells (as coarse aggregate) and Portland cement, excluding fine aggregates, to evaluate whether this ...

Restoration of native oysters in a highly invaded estuary
Biological Conservation, 2016Abstract Restoration of native species may be hampered by competition with non-native species. The outcomes of competition are often context-dependent, with one species dominating under some conditions but not others. Where non-natives differ from natives in their ability to tolerate stressful environmental conditions, restoration practitioners may ...

Guidelines for evaluating performance of oyster habitat restoration
Restoration Ecology, 2015Restoration of degraded ecosystems is an important societal goal, yet inadequate monitoring and the absence of clear performance metrics are common criticisms of many habitat restoration projects. Funding limitations can prevent adequate monitoring, but we suggest that the lack of accepted metrics to address the diversity of restoration objectives also

Experimental test of oyster restoration within eelgrass
Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, 2016Abstract Both seagrasses and oysters are foundation species valued for their wide range of ecosystem services, but their space competition sets a constraint on joint benefits. A reserve for native Olympia oysters (
