Coastal cities are replacing concrete seawalls with oyster reefs. The oysters are better at the job.
Seawalls start degrading the day they're installed. Waves chew them up, storms crack them, and the repairs never stop.
An oyster reef, on the other hand, doesn't break down. It actually grows. The oysters stack, reproduce, and fuse into living rock that gets stronger every year. A mature reef can cut incoming wave height by up to 83%, trap sediment, rebuild the shoreline behind it, and shelter fish, crabs, and shrimp while it does the work.
A hectare of reef provides up to $85,000 a year in shoreline protection. Concrete costs over a million dollars a hectare to build and only weakens.
Once again, working with nature instead of against it is the answer.
