Overcoming Ostrea edulis seed production limitations to meet ecosystem restoration demands in the UN decade on restoration
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. edulis and its beds are now listed as a threatened and/or declining species...

The European flat oyster, Ostrea edulis, is a habitat-forming bivalve which was historically widespread throughout Europe.

Increasing recognition of the plight of the oyster, alongside rapidly developing restoration techniques and growing interest in marine restoration, has resulted in a recent and rapid growth in habitat restoration efforts. O. edulis seed supply is currently a major bottleneck in scaling up habitat restoration efforts in Europe.
