Folks, so far we have found 98 Global Shellfish Reef Restoration Projects. Help us find two more. #EstuariesWeek https://t.co/JIyRxmHe9c

Australia has recently funded a national campaign to restore reefs around Southern Australia.

Great targets for everyone to aim for in 2020. (The items not the values)

[Chesapeake Bay Foundation @chesapeakebay]

In the past year alone we:
🦪 planted 37 million oysters and 55,000 trees,
🛶 educated more than 34,000 students, teachers, and adults, and
📣 inspired 71,000 advocacy actions supporting the Bay.
And that’s just scratching the surface. https://t.co/yNCwbYiVCh

“The #HighSeas are the engine of life that keeps the whole planet habitable. What we do in this space is incredibly important to the rest of life on earth. We could fundamentally break that whole system with devastating planetary consequences” – @prof_callumyork #COP25

If you are having trouble talking to friends and family about the issue of climate change over the solstice season - here are some suggestions about how to discuss that tricky topic https://t.co/A1X2EBAYbf

@mixotrophe I started a dedicated Twitter account for each area of interest. Then curated followers to only the smartest people in each field. I now get a daily update of the best stuff. You also get a really informed community for discussion.

[The Nature Conservancy @nature_org]

🙌 Wonderful news for reefs – great work to our Australian colleagues!

[Hugh Possingham @HugePossum]

Reconstructing Australia’s great southern shellfish reef will be good for fishing, good for climate change and fabulous for biodiversity. Everyone is a winner.

[The Global Shellfish Rehab Network @ShellfishRehab]

Great to see Australia launch a serious restoration campaign. Sixty sites around southern Aus is the goal.

Outstanding testimonial from Wales

[Native Oyster Network - UK & Ireland @NativeOysterNet]

Fantastic to have the opportunity to be a part of the next @itvcoastcountry episode focusing on native oysters on the coast of Wales with @MumblesOysters & @AndyWoolmer ! You will be able to view the full episode on Monday 8pm here: https://t.co/MuZwqiBQuG #NativeOyster #Oyster

Research on Shellfish as a solution for nitrogen pollution. #mussels

[UK Seafood Innovation Fund @SeafoodFund]

A meta-analysis has found suspended #shellfish #aquaculture in the ocean can remove nitrogen & improve water quality. Removing nitrogen from the water reduces risk of harmful algae blooms & so supports the wider #ecosystem.

Green shoots in the Mediterranean.

[Menai Strait Fishery Order Management Association @MSFOMA1]

The potential of #mussel #aquaculture around the world to provide and jobs to communities is so exciting.

What's good for Scotland is good for Shellfish

[Prof Emma Sheehan @ProfEmmaSheehan]

Encouraging talk at the #ASSG by Scotland’s minister @MairiGougeon for rural affairs and the env who was pleased to see our upcoming-talk on #mussel long lines & environmental benefits. Scotland has an impressive plan for #aquaculture @DaniBridger @OffshoreShell @PlymUni

[The Global Shellfish Rehab Network @ShellfishRehab]

What's good for oysters is good for Scotland!

[Native Oyster Network - UK & Ireland @NativeOysterNet]

Restoring native oyster (Ostrea edulis) beds in Scotland is 'part of the answer' and has the potential to give a £3.5m boost to the UK economy! #NativeOyster #Restoration #MotivationMonday https://t.co/eg2Htsla5V

Vitamin Sea! The importance of Blue spaces - “Proximity to water – especially the sea – is associated with many positive measures of physical and mental wellbeing, from higher levels of vitamin D to better social relations” 🌊 @freestater @MCSCharlotte https://t.co/C8Uag4DqLk

[Hugh Possingham @HugePossum]

Sounds like Florida needs some more mangroves, shellfish reef, coral and sea grass to hold those lovely beaches in place.

[Jack M. Payne @JPayneWildlife]

Hong Kong oysters served up as natural defence against flooding caused by climate change https://t.co/4fiuoRN5EJ

[The Global Shellfish Rehab Network @ShellfishRehab]

Thanks. The S1 data was a great help. How many eco regions do you think will support restoration? I.e what threshold value should I use to identify targets?

[The Global Shellfish Rehab Network @ShellfishRehab]

Folks, what threshold value should i use to Target areas where Shellfish were historical successful, or where rehabilitation might be successful on a large scale?

[The Global Shellfish Rehab Network @ShellfishRehab]

The US government is providing $5m for the restoration of the Chesapeake. How many other governments are as committed to marine restoration?

[Chesapeake Bay Foundation @chesapeakebay]

‼️ BREAKING ‼️ The US Senate passed a package of fiscal year 2020 appropriations bills that includes a more than $5 million increase for the EPA’s @chesbayprogram. https://t.co/iWfyLqd0w2
