At the heart of beer production lies the filtering stage, where clarity and flavor refinement take place. Here, science meets practicality, and filter funnels play a crucial role. These ingenious devices, typically made of stainless steel or food-grade plastic, are employed to separate unwanted particles from the beer, ensuring a smooth and clear final product.

Oysters are filter feeding organisms that act as natural filters in aquatic ecosystems. Oysters are found in brackish water of coastal estuaries where freshwater and seawater mix. Estuaries are highly productive ecosystems, which provide a diverse range of habitats that support a rich biodiversity. Being somewhat protected from wave action, they also serve as important breeding grounds for fish and shellfish such as oysters [1].
