Oyster Cove, Tea Gardens
3300 tonnes of Gabion Rock
Port Stephens was selected to trial the use of 3,300 tonnes of rock and nearly 200 cubic metres of recycled oyster shell to re-establish oysters in the area. These were placed along the estuary flat and have helped establish new oyster colonies with initial monitoring detecting oyster settlement along the new reefs.
Supply of this product will enable the re-establishment of oysters’ natural habitat. The flow-on effect of the establishment will benefit local tourism, recreational and commercial fishers, aquaculture, and water users.
