Unique oyster reefs discovered in the Bulgarian Black Sea. Todorova, V., Micu, D., & Klisurov, L. Comptes Rendus de L'Academie Bulgare des Sciences, 62(7):871 – 874, 2009.

Paper abstract bibtex During the summers of 2007-2008 the authors carried out a series of diving expeditions along the Bulgarian Black Sea coast. We discovered massive biogenic reefs built by the native flat oyster Ostrea edulis L., 1758. Numerous oyster reefs occur at depth 7-23 m between Cape Korakya and Urdoviza Bay, other sites of distribution established in front of Rezovo and Cape Cherni Nos. This is a new type of marine habitat that has not been established elsewhere in the World Ocean. Being unique and important to marine biodiversity, as well as being a subtype of NATURA 2000 habitat 1170 Reefs, oyster reefs present high conservation interest. No live oysters were observed at any of the locations. The current IUCN status of oysters in the Bulgarian Black Sea is unclear yet (CR or RE) and needs investigation. Further studies are required to reveal the causes of the extermination of oysters and suggest measures for the rehabilitation of this remarkable habitat.
