We assessed habitat conditions, its potential for increasing biodiversity, and the role of substrate provision by other bivalves such as the invasive alien Pacific oysters. Using underwater visual census, O. edulis size-frequency distributions and attachment substrate was investigated, as well as the composition of the epibenthic community and substrata types inside quadrats that were distributed across the reef. This reef was found to be composed of native European flat oysters, invasive alien Pacific oysters (Magallana gigas) and blue mussels (Mytilus edulis), alternated with sandy patches. The O. edulis population (6.8_±_0.6_oysters_m-2) consisted of individuals of different size classes. In quadrats with native and non-native oysters the number of epibenthic species was 60_% higher compared to adjacent sand patches within the reef. Notably, our results showed that the native oyster predominantly used shell (fragments) of the invasive Pacific oyster as settlement substrate (81 % of individuals). Our results optimistically show that conditions for native oyster restoration can be suitable at a local scale in the coastal North Sea area and that the return of native oysters may be facilitated by novel substrate provided by invasive oysters at sites where their distribution overlap.
