Growing Oysters helps protect the environment, in addition to providing us with a very nutritious food.
They are a natural solution to water pollution. Each oyster can filter algae and particles from 190 liters of water per day (about 15l / h). That means an oyster farm with 1 million oysters can filter 3.785 billion liters of water per day.
Farmed oysters can also release millions of eggs each year (if these are not laboratory based). Oyster larvae disperse and colonize nearby areas. In this way, oyster farms can help establish and supplement wild oyster populations. Or as an alternative Intermas is proposing the Oyster Reef Mesh, to be able to put the dead shells or waste from the restaurants, to make artificial reefs, giving a habitat to natural banks and other species. In addition, 100gr of shell fix 12gr of Carbon dissolved in the water, this contributes to the fixation of Carbon (Blue Carbon).
