Oyster reef loss represents one of the most dramatic declines of a foundation species worldwide. Oysters provide valuable ecosystem services (ES), including habitat provisioning, water filtration, and shoreline protection. Since the 1990s, a global community of science and practice has organized around oyster restoration with the goal of restoring these valuable services. We highlight ES-based approaches throughout the restoration process, consider applications of emerging technologies, and review knowledge gaps about the life histories and ES provisioning of underrepresented species. Climate change will increasingly affect oyster populations, and we assess how restoration practices can adapt to these changes. Considering ES throughout the restoration process supports adaptive management. For a rapidly growing restoration practice, we highlight the importance of early community engagement, long-term monitoring, and adapting actions to local conditions to achieve desired outcomes.

牡蛎恢复以恢复生态系统服务


牡蛎礁的丧失是全球基础物种数量下降最剧烈的物种之一。牡蛎提供有价值的生态系统服务 （ES），包括栖息地供应、水过滤和海岸线保护。自 1990 年代以来，一个全球科学和实践社区围绕牡蛎恢复组织起来，目标是恢复这些有价值的服务。我们强调整个恢复过程中基于 ES 的方法，考虑新兴技术的应用，并审查有关代表性不足物种的生活史和 ES 供应的知识差距。气候变化将越来越多地影响牡蛎种群，我们评估恢复实践如何适应这些变化。在整个恢复过程中考虑 ES 支持适应性管理。对于快速增长的恢复实践，我们强调早期社区参与、长期监测和根据当地条件调整行动以达到预期结果的重要性。
