Oyster Reef One adult oyster can filter 20-50 gallons of water a day. Ranges for a healthy oyster reef are between 400-1000 oysters per square meter. At 400 oysters per square meter our acre of oyster reef will filter 32,376,000-80,940,000 gallons of water a day.

Seaweed Farm ◦ Creates habitat for marine life ◦ Filters water (nitrogen and phosphorus mainly) ◦ Acts as a carbon sink (helps counteract ocean acidification) ◦ Serves as an educational resource for visitors ◦ Fast growing resource: Can grow 9-12 feet in 3 months (about 18% per day) ◦ Nutritious to eat and great for compost (some tastes like bacon!)
