- ashelmire 8y agoApparently there used to be trillions of oysters in the area. Turns out humans were the predator.
- pixl97 8y agoHumans reduced their numbers, but human pollution is what wiped them out.
- nextweek2 8y agoThis is alluded to in the article, they want wild oysters to join the population. Most likely to increase genetic diversity. I would imagine this is a good start, people can identify with oysters and they can then start to use funding to diversify the biosphere down the line.
- SideburnsOfDoom 8y ago> they want wild oysters to join the population. I assumed that these oysters were grown by locating a rare wild oyster, or two, and having them spawn in captivity, producing huge numbers of offspring in a generation or two. So they would be "wild oysters" genetically speaking. Although less genetically diverse than the whole wild population.
