Doesn’t say it until the end of the video, but the oysters in this project are not safe to eat. Merely a means to clean up the water. The ones eaten at restaurants are shipped in from elsewhere, and the left over shells are used in this project

I think, the point that needs to be emphasized is not how much water one oyster can filter in a day, but how much water pollutant it can collect in a day.

Given that oysters filter toxins out of the water, is it really a good idea to eat them??

@@aylabr3931 Sea food in general should be avoided by pregnant women. Due to high frequency of parasites, other diseases, and especially mercury, it can be quite toxic to the fetus if exposed. Mercury is really the big one; that can cause birth defects for sure. Want to add that i'm not sure if oysters actually contain mercury when exposed. I know that's why sushi should be avoided but not 100% if oysters follow the same logic. If someone who knows more about oysters would like to chime in please do.

Talk to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. They started in ,1963. The Bay is still earning D/F grades. The oysters in CB in 1890s were so plentiful their beds looked like mountains rising out of the water at low tide

This is a great idea an I hope it wildly successful. A even better way to clean up the NYC harbor and many others in the US is to get ride if the Combined Sewer System that carries sewage to the water during higher rain events.

In a way. Zebra Mussels do this pretty well. It is why certain centuries old shipwrecks in the Great Lakes are easy to visit even at the limits of typical open circuit Scuba gear, because the water is so clear down to 100 ft and more. The unfortunate problem with Zebra Mussels is that they are a nearly a hazardous waste product themselves, because they conquer the local ecosystem and overgrow on everything - creating really clear water but clogging up pipes and any underwater structures, and also attaching themselves to ships, creating drag. They are a serious problem for the Great Lakes, waterways and the surrounding rivers, and anything that floats on them. This is the problem of using most biological means of cleaning - the method itself can cause issues of their own.

**begins the video by cutting open and eating an oyster** "oysters are so important, they're vacuums for our ecosystems"

The oysters and some other shellfish we eat are largely farmed (not wild caught) in areas where the water quality is safe for human consumption of shellfish. If there's any question of contamination, the shellfish can be put through a process of 'depuration' in which they are place in tanks of clean seawater to purge themselves of bacteria, etc. (Is not always effective.)

Fidenlity is still heavily invested in the fossil feul industry. I wouldn't invest a cent with them.

No, for humans to find value in them, eating them and recycling the shells is a good cycle to have. Excess shells can also be ground up and used as a chicken supplement which would improve their shell strength so their eggs are good until eaten or new chicks are hatched. Its all a cycle. They now have scientific proof that plants communicate with each other and share food and nutrients and not just trees.
