Rutgers has been awarded $12.6 million by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) to develop an oyster-based shoreline ecosystem to help protect coastlines from storm damage, flooding and erosion, within DARPA’s Reefense project.
The Rutgers-led project, “Reefense: A Mosaic Oyster Habitat (MOH) for Coastal Defense,” is focused on oyster reefs in the Gulf Coast and combines novel cements and concretes with state-of-the-art shellfish breeding and the latest ecological engineering of shoreline habitats.
