Some like it hot: the ecology, ecosystem benefits and restoration potential of oyster reefs in tropical waters

HIGHLIGHTS

SUMMARY

    The loss of these ecosystems, for example, coral reefs (Palandro et_al, 2008; De`ath et_al, 2012), mangroves (Goldberg et_al, 2020), saltmarshes (Silliman et_al, 2009), and kelp (Filbee-Dexter and Wernberg, 2018), has subsequently resulted in the loss of marine biodiversity as well as the ecosystem services that these habitats provide (Sala and Knowlton, 2006; Barbier, 2017). Restoration has now expanded to other species including Ostrea lurida on the west coast of the USA and Canada (Pritchard et_al, 2015), Ostrea edulis in Europe (Pogoda et_al, 2019; Preston et_al, 2020), and Ostrea angasi and Saccostrea glomerata . . .
