Meet Stefaan, a passionate ocean lover who took action to restore marine ecosystems by becoming a Mother Reef Steward. Discover what inspired him to adopt a Mother Reef and help restore 750 oysters, contributing to the revival of vibrant underwater habitats. Join the movement and be part of ocean restoration today!
Oyster Heaven is excited to announce the launch of “Adopt a Mother Reef”, a new initiative developed in response to public interest in supporting their oyster restoration efforts.
Through this campaign, people can adopt one of Oyster Heaven’s Mother Reefs, the specially designed clay bricks that help baby oysters settle and thrive
Oyster Heaven is trots om aan te kondigen dat de vergunningen voor Project Asta, het eerste oester herstelproject in het Veerse Meer, zijn goedgekeurd. Op deze locatie zal Oyster Heaven een grootschalig oesterrif aanleggen met 4 miljoen jonge oesters, waarmee een belangrijke stap wordt gezet in het herstel van oesterriffen in dit gebied.
Oyster Heaven is pleased to announce the approval of the licence for Project Asta, its first oyster restoration site in the Veerse Meer, a location where the company will be deploying a large-scale oyster reef to restore 4 million oysters.
In the face of climate change, biodiversity loss, and the growing threats to our oceans, the concept of rewilding is emerging as an approach to restoring ecosystems to their natural states.
At Oyster Heaven, we believe that rewilding – or seawilding – the ocean through the restoration of oyster reefs is a key solution to help nature heal itself. By strategically restoring oyster reefs in specific locations, these reefs act as marine biodiversity hotspots encouraging species to return and thrive.
As climate change intensifies, coastal regions around the world are facing increasing threats from rising sea levels, storm surges, and coastal erosion. Traditional artificial solutions like seawalls and breakwaters are often expensive, disruptive to marine habitats, and ultimately not sustainable in the long term.
At Oyster Heaven, we believe in turning to nature to support the best engineering solutions.
One of the most promising approaches we’ve identified is the regeneration of oyster reefs as living breakwaters to protect our coasts.
The concept of planetary boundaries, introduced by scientists in 2009, outlines nine critical limits within which humanity can safely operate to maintain Earth’s stability.
At Oyster Heaven, we are tackling these challenges by restoring oyster reefs at scale – a vital solution for the health of marine ecosystems. Restoration of these habitats tackles many of these issues simultaneously
While well-run CSR programs do aim to make businesses more ethical and environmentally responsible, initiatives to support nature should not be relegated to CSR alone. Such investments should be treated as core operational costs necessary for a company’s survival, risk management, and profitability. It’s an essential cost of doing business.
Marine regeneration is an essential mission aimed at restoring our oceans back into the productive and healthy ecosystems they once were. Among the many challenges faced by conservationists, one concept that often quietly impacts efforts is the ‘shifting baseline syndrome’, first considered by fisheries scientist Daniel Pauly. This term refers to a phenomenon where each generation of scientists and ocean users accepts the condition of the environment they first encounter as the norm, or baseline, even though this baseline may have already been significantly degraded compared to previous generations.
Make a measurable difference for the ocean today.
You can now adopt a Mother Reef and help restore 100 oysters!
