Shellfish reefs provide complex habitat for many marine animals and filter water to help improve coastal water quality. However, we have lost most of our shellfish reefs in South Australia due to overfishing and harvesting.
Kangaroo Island will be home to the first native oyster reef for monitoring by you, the community.
Snorkelling on our restoration reef and recording your observations will help us to monitor shellfish growth and recruitment of this reef over time.
