Marine scientist Marina Richardson from Griffith University said oysters are the &#8221;kidneys of the sea&#8221;, filtering excess nutrients and pollutants from the water and providing habitat for fish, invertebrates and other creatures.<\/p>\n<p>Volunteers from the not-for-profit Ozfish set out on weekly missions to collect oyster shells from large restaurants and shuckers around Brisbane, bringing roughly four tonnes of shell back to Ozfish headquarters at the Port of Brisbane every week. The shells sit there for at least four months, sanitised by sunlight, before they are put through an industrial-sized sift shaker, tumble washed, and put into metal cages known as Robust Oyster Baskets, or ROBs. From there, they are loaded onto a barge and &#8221;deployed&#8221; into a 19 hectare stretch of sea controlled by the port, where oyster larvae \u2014 or spat \u2014 land on the shells. If all goes to plan, by the time the wire rusts away, the oysters will have fused into a self-contained reef.<\/p>\n<p>While oyster reefs once spread across the bay, more than a century of colonial and industrial change has taken out 95 per cent of what was there. A spokesperson from the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation said &#8221;shellfish reefs have the potential to play an important role in inshore marine ecosystems&#8221; and the department is &#8221;committed to ensuring attempts to rehabilitate shellfish reefs succeed without compromising other marine values&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.abc.net.au\/news\/2024-12-20\/queensland-oyster-restoration-moreton-bay-port-of-brisbane\/104733290\">ABC News<\/a><\/p>\n<p><p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\/environmental-news-en\/ozfish-drop-more-than-3000-man-made-oyster-reefs-at-port-of-brisbane-in-bid-to-restore-shellfish-population\/\">Ozfish drop more than 3,000 man-made oyster reefs at Port of Brisbane in bid to restore shellfish population<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/vastuullisuusuutiset.fi\/fi\">Vastuullisuusuutiset.fi<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[616,575,4752,17394],"class_list":["post-136166","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","tag-australia","tag-environmental-news-en","tag-oyster","tag-shellfish"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136166","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=136166"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/136166\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=136166"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=136166"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/tietopankki.crnet.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=136166"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
