Description:Recently, interest has grown in using oyster-mediated denitri fication resulting from aquaculture and restoration as mechanisms for reactive nitrogen (N) removal. To date, short-term N removal through bioextraction has received the mostmanagement interest, but there is a growing body of research that has shown oysters can also mediate the long-term removal of Nthrough denitri fication (the microbial conversion of reactive N to relatively inert dinitrogen (N 2) gas). Oyster suspension feeding and ammonium release via waste and deposition of organic matter to the sediments can stimulate nitri fication−denitri fication near oyster reefs and aquaculture sites. Oysters also harbor a diverse microbial community in their tissue and shell promotingdenitri fication and thus enhanced N removal. Additionally, surface areas on oyster reefs provide a habitat for other filter-feeding macrofaunal communities that can further enhance denitri fication. Denitri fication is a complex biogeochemical process that can be difficult to convey to stakeholders. These complexities have limited consideration and inclusion of oyster-mediated denitri fication
