Oyster reefs are considered functionally extinct in many global regions, and restoration efforts accelerating. Currently, on Australia's eastern coast is focused the Sydney rock oyster ( Saccostrea glomerata ); however, multiple species of found across this region. To understand intertidal zonation patterns co‐occurring species, we surveyed wild assemblages adult oysters at different elevations subtropical Noosa River estuary using molecular methods for identification. We then conducted an gardening experiment three tidal to assess spat recruitment determine whether a viable method seeding shell restoration. Adult S. were more abundant upper zone, whereas adults related (but as yet unnamed) lineage G almost exclusively lower zone. Spat was highest zone lowest subtidal indicating that targeting may be unsuccessful concluded likely reef‐building; programs will rely situ until knowledge relating spawning triggers can inform reliable hatchery production. Furthermore, show when systems not limited. This useful multispecies tropics, where there often morphologically indistinguishable reef‐building providing benefits far outweigh those single‐species approaches.
