40 Oyster Reefs Installed at Gandy's Beach to Support Oysters, Reduce Waves
Since 2015, 40 constructed oyster reefs have been installed along 800 meters of Gandy's Beach, New Jersey. Early monitoring recorded over 800 live oysters per square meter. The reefs reduced storm-wave height by up to 51% under certain conditions. However, seven years of monitoring also showed ongoing elevation and vegetation loss at the site.
