Oysters are natural purifiers: a single adult oyster can cleanse about 50 gallons of water per day. And their reefs can provide a habitat for other marine life and help protect shores against storm surge during rough weather.
I believe this was happening in the Great Lakes with Zebra Mussels at one point, only the clearing of the water was actually leading to toxic algae blooms and thus was bad?
It’s been over a decade since I studied all this so forgive me if I got that wrong
