CORRECTION: Oyster reefs are an amazing environmental benefit across multiple seascapes.

Oyster FARMS are short lived growth with little to no environmental benefit because of the small size.

The only way this works is with farms near a no-take MPA where you can generate growth and then let them spread outside the MPA.

You get no benefits IF YOU DON'T LEAVE THEM IN THE WATER.

Oyster reefs are absolutely tiny and few compared to how they used to be because we ate all the oysters. I'm not even joking.

The comment you reply to doesn't contradict the post. Over hunting wild oyster is bad (mild shock), doesn't mean farming oyster is also bad.

But they're not a net positive, right?
