Annual disposal of 33,000 tons of oyster shells increases CO2 emissions, causing ocean acidification, coral death, and coastal erosion. Shifting from the linear model could turn waste into a valuable resource, benefiting the environment, generating profit.

Oyster2Life proposes a circular economy by repurposing discarded shells into reefs, revitalizing marine ecosystems, aiding oyster larvae survival, reducing sea acidification, restoring native colonies, and mitigating coastal erosion impacts on seafront communities.
