Shellfish Reefs

The Shellfish Reef Restoration Network- a knowledge sharing community working collectively to ensure healthy shellfish reefs are in our estuaries for the future

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

Leaf oysters can form reefs, produce mauve pearls, and reach the size of a dinner plate. But, perhaps because they're not very pretty and not particularly appetising, they’ve been ignored for far too long.
And we might soon lose them. https://t.co/Oxks1s0rC1 @SCUonline

Our latest on how gradients in predation and environmental conditions interact to shape #oyster recruitment.

[Brendan Lanham @DrBrendanLanham]

Our latest! Showing effects of predation on oyster recruitment 🦪🐟 Important information that may increase oyster survival during the crucial first few months of #restoration

Fantastic research collaboration is out: what are the factors limiting the recruitment of the Sydney rock oyster on Australia’s east coast? Read here 👇🏼

[Simon Reeves @simreev]

Wondering how we might improve marine restoration reporting? Wonder no more 😁🥳.

It was great working with @EgerAaron and many others to develop this. https://t.co/yADmdneM5k

Proud to receive this @aipolsci award & share it with some great @UniofAdelaide #marine #scientists - @Alice_R_Jones & Linda Armbrecht. Makes those late many nights in with my smelly #oyster collaborators more enjoyable.
Eternal thanks for @Sean4Sea for guidance and inspiration.

[Dr Rick Leong @rickcleong]

It's my final set of fieldwork for my #PhD this week & I started off with my favourite #remnant #oysterreef site. Port Hacking, you will always be part of my heart!😘 Thanks @katie_erick @ChrisUndrTheSea for the help #phdjourney @unswcmsi @SydneySOLES @harbourprogram @GribbenLab

[OzFish @ozfishunlimited]

It's not everyday that we get to host team members from @BCF to help build ROBs (Robust Oyster Baskets) and clean shell at our Shell Recycling Centre at the Port of Brisbane. Community-driven reef restoration right there people! We got this #OzFishers #StandProud @ShellfishReefs

In case you missed the twitter action on #WorldEnvironmentDay, plenty of exciting new material released by NORA as official supporters of the UN Decade on Restoration #GenerationRestoration. Visit https://t.co/WGSUUsoKDW to catch up on our factsheet, adapted logo and fun for kids

[NORA_Europe @NORA_Europe]

Oyster habitat restoration is a global #GenerationRestoration movement. Taking place across 5 continents so far! @NORA_Europe is delighted to have exchanged knowledge with the @ShellfishReefs network in Australia. Moving #restoration forward together.

[NORA_Europe @NORA_Europe]

#KnowledgeExchange and #partnership are critical aspects of #GenerationRestoration. @NORA_Europe thanks @shellfishreefs and @NativeOysterNet for collaborating in this global #restoration movement.

[Shellfish Reefs @ShellfishReefs]

Bringing the world’s lost oyster reefs back to life is key for this UN Decade on Ecosystem Restoration and the only way forward is #collaboration and #partnership. We are proud to take action on this global movement of #GenerationRestoration with @NORA_Europe @NativeOysterNet

[Brendan Lanham @DrBrendanLanham]

Cool to see our biodegradable #oysterreef #restoration units being utilising by juvenile luderick two days after they were deployed, and using the structure to actively hide from a passing cormorant on the lookout for a tasty snack! @MelanieJBishop

[Dr Paco Martínez-Baena @Paco_mttzb]

It was an honor to start and finish the #scicomm of my thesis at the @ShellfishReefs conference. Such an amazing group of restoration researchers and practitioners! 🤩

[Dr. Sadar Aslam PhD (She/Her) @sadar_aslam]

[Dr Paco Martínez-Baena @Paco_mttzb]

Today we finally have submitted our manuscript “Oyster reefs as fish habitat: a seascape perspective” to a journal. Super excited about it and crossing all my fingers for the process to be smooth. To celebrate it here’s a sneak peak of the upcoming results... ��
