A recently completed offshore installation seeded 2,000 rocks with 1.2 million young oysters 40 km off the Belgian coast, using a newly developed Oyster Reef Restoration Unit operated in partnership with Ghent University’s Aquaculture & ARC laboratory. During the remote setting campaign, 5 million oyster larvae were introduced into the unit, and the company states the system can seed hard substrates with around one million young oysters within a few weeks, anywhere in the world. This marks the first time the unit was used to seed rocks and install them at an offshore location.
