Great story about a creature making a comeback with the help of some hard-working humans. But, in my opinion, the best place for an oyster is in the ocean, not anywhere near my mouth.
I'm sure farming them en-masse probably isn't great for the local ecosystem but it sounds like there's a long way to go before historical concentrations are reached let alone surpassed.
I don't know. I'm just saying that if they go totally crazy with it there will probably be some unintended negative (depending on who you ask) consequences because ecosystems are complex.
(I don't like eating them personally, that said, but that's a taste thing.)
