Shellbond is a patented material derived from high temperature treatment of calcareous materials, including oyster shells, yielding a unique form of calcium hydroxide. Researchers at the University of North Carolina Wilmington investigated the Shellbond effects on phytoplankton growth. Results suggest that Shellbond may have promise for algal bloom remediation.
