O-oyster is an oyster aquaculture system and wave power generator designed with a cradle-to-cradle approach. Made from oyster shells and seaweed gel, its structure can be intentionally sunk to the seabed when damaged, transforming into an ecological reef that supports marine life as it decomposes, avoiding the environmental issues of traditional materials like plastic and styrofoam. O-oyster is equipped with duck-shaped power generators, which protects aquaculture zones from large waves. The expansion of oyster fields supports stable sea current farming in deeper waters.
