Oyster reef loss represents one of the most dramatic declines of a foundation species worldwide. Oysters provide valuable ecosystem services (ES), including habitat provisioning, water filtration, and shoreline protection. Since the 1990s, a global community of science and practice has organized around oyster restoration with the goal of restoring these valuable services. We highlight ES-based approaches throughout the restoration process, consider applications of emerging technologies, and review knowledge gaps about the life histories and ES provisioning of underrepresented species. Climate change will increasingly affect oyster populations, and we assess how restoration practices can adapt to these changes. Considering ES throughout the restoration process supports adaptive management. For a rapidly growing restoration practice, we highlight the importance of early community engagement, long-term monitoring, and adapting actions to local conditions to achieve desired outcomes.
牡蛎礁的丧失是全球范围内基础物种最显著的衰退之一。牡蛎提供了有价值的生态系统服务，包括栖息地供给、水质过滤和海岸线保护。自20世纪90年代以来，全球科学界和实践界围绕牡蛎恢复开展了相关工作，目标是恢复这些有价值的服务。我们在整个恢复过程中强调基于生态系统服务的方法，考虑新兴技术的应用，并审视关于代表性不足物种的生活史和生态系统服务供给方面的知识空白。气候变化将越来越多地影响牡蛎种群，我们评估恢复实践如何能够适应这些变化。在整个恢复过程中考虑生态系统服务有助于适应性管理。对于一种迅速发展的恢复实践，我们强调早期社区参与、长期监测以及根据当地情况调整行动以实现预期成果的重要性。
