The Mar Menor Oyster Initiative, a strategy to prevent algal blooms in a eutrophic lagoon in Spain

Marine ecosystems are exposed to a wide range of pressures including water quality egradation, habitat decline, overfishing and climate change, in some instances leading to negative environmental, social and economic consequences. Different approaches can be taken to ameliorate the multiple human stressors altering the oceans, including the restoration of services which have declined through oyster restoration [1]. Oysters provide a variety of ecosystem services and are recognized for their potential to contribute to developing Blue Economies. From water quality improvement to sustainable maintenance of good habitat condition and coastal resilience, oysters can contribute to Nature-Based Solutions to restore impaired aquatic ecosystems [2]. Fossil records provide evidence that these essential services have been developed for millennia but bivalve stocks have decreased worldwide and with their disappearance, coastal ecosystems have also lost their ecologic and economic services [3]. Further declines in water quality and habitat serve as stressors to the bivalves that remain, which may lead to increased disease prevalence or feeding suppression, which can add to the loss of services provided.
