Estuaries and Coasts, 2021 Marine foundation species are critical to the structure and resilience of coastal ecosystems and provide key ecosystem services. Since many have suffered severe population declines, restoration of foundation species has been undertaken worldwide.

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

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 ...

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2015 Restoration strategies for native oyster populations rely on multiple sources of information, which often conflict due to time- and space-varying patterns in abundance and distribution.

EDIS, 2020 Florida’s Apalachicola Bay has long been known for its oyster harvesting and processing industry, but a steady decline in oyster landings in the Bay has threatened the industry.

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

Global Ecology and Conservation, 2023 Oysters form natural reefs and are important coastal foundation species that provide a wide range of ecosystem services. Clarification of the mechanisms by which tidal emersion affects oyster reef performance will help guide and direct future oyster reef
