Australia's natural oyster reefs have faced significant loss, with over 90% of these biodiverse ecosystems disappearing due to over-exploitation and habitat degradation. Oyster farming has been recognized as a way to mitigate some of the ecosystem service loss caused by the decline of natural reefs.
