@ausgeo: How do you bring back the oyster reefs that have been dredged to extinction? 🦪 The Reviving Coffin Bay’s Lost Oyster Reefs project by the University of Adelaide has been awarded the $20,000 Bronze Tier Award at the 2025 Australian Geographic Awards for Nature. With the funding, marine ecologist Dr Dominic McAfee is working to restore South Australia’s long-lost oyster reefs; vital underwater habitats once spanning 7000km of coastline. The project will scale up restoration, engage volunteers and establish a shell-processing centre to anchor community stewardship and scientific monitoring. #ausgeo #australiangeographicsociety #oysterreefs #universityofadelaide #restoration
