Oyster Culture Bioremediation
Powerful Marine Biofilters
Oysters filter 100gallons each day and live over 20 years.
"Turning Pollutants into Pearls"
Oysters sequester pollutants with nacre secretions, creating pearl coated micro-packets of pollutants that are rejected as a pseudo-feces that sinks them to the bottom.
We measure Pacific Triploid Oyster's ability to filter specific pollutants from the water column to develop a Water Quality Credit for use in a Mitigation Banking System.
Carbon, Heavy Metals, Refined Oil, Crude Oil, Nitrogen, Phosphates, Tryptophan, Raw Sewage, Toxins & Pesticides
Oysters = Ecosystem Services
Native Olympia Oysters
Living Oysters have a Heartbeat & Calcium Signature that Attracts Wild Spat to form a self-sustaining reef ecosystem.

Oysters in Bioremediation are Not for Eating!
they contain contaminants that are harmful to human health
Wastewater Management
"Replacing 1,300-acres of oyster reef would have the same effect as building a new Wastewater Treatment Plant"
- The Nature Conservancy
Oyster Culture Places Live Pacific Oysters into
Bioremediation to restore water quality and collects shells to restore the indigenous coast.

San Fransisco Bay Mitigation Banking
OCF is Creating a Mitigation Bank for the San Francisco Bay.
Mitigation Banking Credits can be used as a powerful tool by Local Governments to hold polluting businesses accountable by offsetting their pollution pound for pound and gallon for gallon.
San Francisco's aging Sewage Treatment Facilities have spilled billions of gallons of untreated sewage.
SF Bay Mitigation Banking can implement a fee in lieu of fine program to locally offset the impact and restore water quality.
Pearl Coin funds our research and is a forward contract to generate Water Quality Credits.
