Join us tomorrow at 11:45 ET for the next #W3seminar! Dr. Alberto Canestrelli will present his research on how boat traffic is the primary driver of #OysterReef degradation and oyster mortality in the Guana-Tolomato-Matanzas (GTM) estuary. ⏺: youtube.com/live/ojYfsc66T….

This is where #OysterReef #restoration begins! I'm excited to be setting our first batches of large and deploying them in the ocean! The culmination of 8 years of collaboration with The Nature Conservancy Hong Kong. Excited to be making some real impact! HKU_Science HKU School of Biological Sciences SWIMS HKU

The @BillionOysterProject with the help of the Harbor School, aims to restore oysters in the #NewYork harbor. ow.ly/onZa50SQLb6 #OysterReef #Estuaries #MarineEcosystems #STEM

Amazing to be part of such a large scaling up of #OysterReef #restoration in #HongKong! Truly fantastic #NatureBasedSolution #NbS! The Nature Conservancy Hong Kong SWIMS HKU HKU School of Biological Sciences HKU_Science

Success ✅ in baseline marine #biodiversity surveys on the sea wall of the new #HongKong International Airport 3rd runway to inform large scale #OysterReef #restoration. We found some oysters; once we deploy shell/rock for reef base in 2024 this could be ideal for oyster growth!

Always nice to get into the field and help the budding scientists from The ISF Academy HK while also improving #OysterReef #restoration HKU_Science HKU School of Biological Sciences SWIMS HKU Marine Futures Lab

Last week Bayden D. Russell and RA, Sam Klein, went to collect sediment cores and oysters from Deep Bay. These samples will be used by high school students to study oyster microbiomes. #marinescience #oyster #climate #oysterreef #marineresearch The University of Hong Kong HKU School of Biological Sciences SWIMS HKU

How a filmmaker, a pile of old shells and a bunch of amateurs are bringing long-lost native #oysterreef back, writes Dr Dominic McAfee Uni of Adelaide Environment Institute - University of Adelaide + Craig Copeland OzFish University of Newcastle for @ConservationEDU #makingadifference  theconversation.com/how-a-filmmake…

Fantastic article about our ongoing efforts to find and document #OysterReef in HK! It also beautifully describes our hope for the future of #oyster #restoration 😊 Shifting Baselines – Hong Kong blog.mares.com/shifting-basel… Marine Futures Lab SWIMS HKU HKU_Science HKU School of Biological Sciences The Nature Conservancy Hong Kong

Excited to be part of the upcoming #SAHistoryFest with the Friends of the Port River! Join me as I dive into South Australia's rich history of shellfish & #oysterreef management and share some research insights & stories 🦪🎉 11th May in #PortAdelaide: festival.history.sa.gov.au/events/celebra…

Had a great time helping out with the OzFish #oysterreef #restoration project last weekend in #Quandamooka #MoretonBay 🦪 We made 185 oyster baskets!

The oyster reef - A rare spring low (0.1m below Cd) presents an ideal opportunity to capture the taxture of the oyster reef in Brightlingsea Creek #Brightlingsea #Oyster #BrightlingseaHarbour #OysterReef #GigasOyster #PacificOyster #Essex

How cool to have seen the camouflage of this cuttlefish, and how it changes from #oysterreef to bare sand 🦪🦑

After 3 months, our reef units are full of baby #oysters, snapping shrimp, and cryptobenthic fishes 🦪🦐🐟 These structures will aid in the benthic diversity and ostrea angasi settlement of The Nature Conservancy Asia Pacific #oysterreef restoration sites at Glenelg and O’Sullivan Beach

Can we link oyster reef restoration with organisations that want to operate more sustainably? Here is how: oysterheaven.org/oyster-restora… #oysterrestoration #sustainability #marinerestoration #oysterreef

Did you know that in 2021 marine #dredging emitted more #carbon than the entire aviation industry? And did you know that #oyster reef restoration could be a solution to prevent the need for dredging? Learn more here: bit.ly/48BVnn4 #naturebasedsolutions #oysterreef
