Scientists Shine Light on ‘Bright Spots’ to Restore Coastal Ecosystems Written by AZoCleantechDec 22 2020 CSIRO, Australia’s national science agency, has identified coastal ‘bright spots’ to repair marine ecosystems globally, paving the way to boost biodiversity, local economies and human wellbeing. Scientists have identified successful marine ‘bright spots’ to restore coastal ecosystems, such as oyster reefs. Doctor Megan Saunders, CSIRO Oceans and Atmosphere Senior Research Scientist, said successful coastal restoration efforts could be achieved over large areas, deliver positive impacts for decades, expand restored areas by up to 10-times in size, and generate jobs. “ Coastal ecosystems across the globe including saltmarshes, mangroves, seagrasses, oyster reefs, kelp beds and coral reefs have declined by up to 85 per cent over decades,” Dr Saunders said.
