Millions of oysters that went unsold when restaurants closed are finding a new life back in the ocean, where advocates say they'll help the environment and help coastal communities combat climate change.

Oysters are stacked on the The Gino Macchio Foundation processing barge in New York Harbor on May 26, 2021.

But environmental groups quickly recognized a way to use those oysters in coastal communities. The Nature Conservancy and Pew Charitable Trusts announced plans to buy millions of unsold oysters and return them to the ocean as living reefs. Oysters filter water and the physical reef creates an ecosystem for other sea life, in addition to becoming a kind of natural speed bump for storm surge that can erode coastlines during storms.
