Farming and Restoring Oysters to Combat Climate Change [PDF]

Journal of Science Policy & Governance, 2021
To confront the myriad challenges posed by climate change, we present oysters as a nature-based solution with an abundance of environmental benefits and economic stimulus to coastal communities. We encourage the Biden administration to support international efforts to restore oyster reefs by presenting an “Oyster Restoration Initiative” to the World ...

Overcoming Ostrea edulis seed production limitations to meet ecosystem restoration demands in the UN decade on restoration

Aquatic Living Resources, 2023
The European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis, is a habitat-forming bivalve which was historically widespread throughout Europe. Following its decline due to overfishing, pollution, sedimentation, invasive species, and disease, O.

Restoration of eastern oyster populations with positive density dependence [PDF]

Ecological Applications, 2017
Abstract Positive density dependence (i.e., Allee effects) can create a threshold of population states below which extinction of the population occurs. The existence of this threshold, which can often be a complex, multi‐dimensional surface, rather than a single point, is of particular importance in degraded ...

Site selection for European native oyster (Ostrea edulis) habitat restoration projects: An expert-derived consensus [PDF]

, 2022
The European native oyster (Ostrea edulis) is a threatened keystone species which historically created extensive, physically complex, biogenic habitats throughout European seas.Overfishing and direct habitat destruction, subsequently compounded by ...

Restoration potential of Asian oysters on heavily developed coastlines [PDF]

, 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 ...

A restoration suitability index model for the eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica) in the Mission-Aransas Estuary, TX, USA.

PLoS ONE, 2012
Oyster reefs are one of the most threatened marine habitats on earth, with habitat loss resulting from water quality degradation, coastal development, destructive fishing practices, overfishing, and storm impacts.

Unprecedented Restoration of a Native Oyster Metapopulation

Science, 2009
Restoring Oysters Populations and wild fisheries of native oyster species have collapsed worldwide because of overfishing and habitat destruction, resulting in severe ecosystem alteration and degradation. Expensive restoration efforts have met with little success, leading to the introduction of non-native oyster species in an ...

Ecosystem services related to oyster restoration [PDF]

Marine Ecology Progress Series, 2007
The importance of restoring filter-feeders, such as the Eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica, to mitigate the effects of eutrophication (e.g. in Chesapeake Bay) is currently under debate. The argument that bivalve molluscs alone cannot control phytoplankton blooms and reduce hypoxia oversimplifies a more complex issue, namely that ecosystem engineering

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.
