Oyster reefs are not just beautiful underwater structures; they play a crucial role in our ecosystem!
Oyster reefs in the Indian River Lagoon are like bustling underwater cities, providing homes and shelter for numerous marine creatures. Their complex structure supports biodiversity by creating habitats for fish, crabs, and other marine life.
Beyond their role as homes, oyster reefs act as natural filters, improving water quality by removing pollutants and excess nutrients. They help maintain a healthy balance in the delicate ecosystem of the lagoon, contributing to clearer waters and supporting the growth of seagrasses.
Creating & protecting these reefs is vital for the health of our local environment. By preserving oyster populations and their habitats, we’re not only safeguarding marine life but also ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
