Oysters and Climate Change - sea level rise? The oysters are ready.

In this episode I talk with Linda Hunter, the Founder and Director of The Wild Oyster Project in San Francisco. We discuss how The Wild Oyster Project has pivoted from their usual program of using oyster shells to build oyster reefs in the San Francisco Bay because of the restrictions during the Covid pandemic. These reefs are part of coastal habitat restoration projects that help restore native habitats and protect the coast from sea level rise. Sea level rise that results from climate change is on the agenda of coastal cities. The Wild Oyster Project uses community engagement and educational outreach to include community support to help people understand their local ecosystem and how they can be part of the climate change solution.
