Shellfish reefs made up of oysters and mussels are prolific ‘fish factories’. Working just like coral reefs, they support the growth of important fish species whilst also helping to improve water quality and increase biodiversity. Yet since European settlement, we’ve lost almost all of our shellfish reefs- making these Australia’s most threatened marine habitat. We are restoring shellfish reefs to protect the health of our oceans and contribute to the recreational and economic vitality of our communities. We are a community of restoration practitioners, researchers, educators and general shellfish enthusiasts that are informing people, raising awareness and advocating for shellfish restoration in Australia.
