Mother Reef by Oyster Heaven

Buy a brick, save an oyster! These Mother Reef brick stones were designed to lend some help to the oyster population in the North Sea.

Oyster Heaven does exactly what their name implies. The bricks assist the oyster population with the goal of making it thrive again. When you adopt a brick, Oyster Heaven places it in the sea for you, helping to restore the oyster species back to a sustainable level.

Price: €75 to donate a brick

Oyster reefs provide a home to fish and crustaceans, and allow biodiversity to flourish. Each Mother Reef brick allows a healthy adult population of a hundred oysters to thrive and reproduce, until multiple reefs eventually reach the magic number of four million, which is required for a sustainable population. The bricks will harmlessly disintegrate, while the oyster reefs attach to each other and further reproduce on their own.
