Oysters At Risk from Climate Change

"Climate change’s effect on coastal ecosystems is very likely to increase mortality risks of adult oyster populations in the next 20 years... Benthic species like oysters are keystone species in coastal ecosystems... But they are very sensitive to changes in climate and water quality, because they cannot move if a location becomes inhospitable." - Excerpt from IOP Publishing.
