This article presents a study regarding oyster recruitment and growth on an electrified artificial reef structure in Grand Isle, Louisiana. It discusses that coastal protection remains a global priority as increasing sea levels, tropical storms, and development threaten coastal habitat. A common tool employed to combat shoreline erosion involves armoring the water and land interface. It mentions that recent shoreline protection projects are moving towards promoting the use of native, living materials, while typical armoring is done with heavy, often non-native materials.
