Climate Connections: Restaurant to Reef: An Oyster’s Journey - Ecologists braving stinky oyster shells to build "pearls" in Singapore's waters
Ice-cold, juicy oysters definitely sound like a good idea, as we search for ways to beat the heat in recent weeks! But have you ever wondered what happens to the oyster shells afterwards?
On this episode of Climate Connections, we feature two local ecologists - Yukie Yokoyama and Erika Ng from Witteveen+Bos - who are giving discarded oyster shells a new lease of life in Singapore by creating the country's first artificial oyster reef at the jetty near Changi Sailing Club.
Find out more about their journey to find ways to help Singapore fight pollution, improve marine biodiversity, and protect against coastal erosion.
