Ensuring the livelihoods of future generations
Oyster regeneration projects to increase fish stock and improve ocean health.
How can we regenerate oyster reefs?
The Mother Reef: a new reef pre-charged with baby oysters, deployed by fishing communities
The Mother Reefs will break away and biodegrade over the years, leaving nothing but a new oyster reef full of life behind.
What’s in it for coastal communities?
Fishing communities will use their boats and knowledge of the water to plant the Mother Reefs into the sea, monitor and oversee the growth of the new marine oases.
With oyster reefs regenerated,
everything else can thrive.
From a degraded ocean
To a balanced ocean full of life

Oyster restoration projects play a vital role in preserving marine ecosystems and mitigating the effects of climate change. These projects have taken place in different parts of the world over the past years, both offshore and near the coasts.
In the vast blue expanse of our oceans, a hidden threat lurks beneath the surface: eutrophication. This complex term describes a concerning phenomenon driven by human activities, impacting marine ecosystems in ways we can no longer afford to ignore.
Eutrophication occurs when excess nutrients, primarily nitrogen and phosphorus derived from human activities, enter water systems leading to excessive algal growth that disrupt the balance of marine ecosystems.
It’s evident from our name, Oyster Heaven, that oysters are our primary focus. But why? Why do we emphasize oysters over other marine creatures when it comes to restoring the balance in our oceans and cooling down the planet? Of all the endangered species in the world, why is it our mission to bring oysters back to where they used to be?
