Geographic Context
Project Type
Structurally Simple, Subtidal, Intensively Harvested Oyster Reef Restoration

This technique consists of placing cultch material (usually oyster shells, relic shells, crushed limestone, or crushed concrete), either loose or contained, so that the resulting structure lies flat along the estuary/ocean floor. This technique has been widely used throughout the Gulf for the primary purpose of providing oysters for harvest.
