Live oyster clump testing in the wave flume

Live oyster clumps in the wave flume

With the help of OceanWatch Australia, WRL has recently been testing live Sydney rock oysters in our 3 m wide wave flume. This research aims to improve the design and performance of oyster reefs by assessing their stability under wave attack.
