After two years of extensive research, lab and field testing, we’ve proven the efficiency of the Mother Reefs, the substrate that allows us to restore oyster reefs, at a large scale.
See below the details of our coming projects
North Sea
Start 2024 – 2034
Minimum 3.75 million native oysters.
Local fishermen
Filtering 1.6 billion liters of water per day – 640 olympic swimming pools
8 million Oysters and 375 million new swimming creatures weighing 500 tonnes from almost 500 species
10 new seasonal jobs for fishermen and coastal communities
Improving feeding habitat of more than 20 wading bird species including those of international importance
Managing 2.5 tonnes of nitrogen a year with an estimated 100-900 tonnes of carbon stored in shells, living biomass and additional nitrous oxide impact (not all verified pathways)

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.
