Materials composed of inorganic and organic compounds that inhibit, promote and stabilize nanostructured crystalline calcium carbonate for the recruitment and growth of oyster larvae and spat. By using simple chemical precursors in a bottom-up or top-down approach, a variety of layered material compositions can be obtained which result in a standalone material or one that can be applied to and supported by cementitious substrates. The chemical compounds and processes described in this invention are scalable, thus providing for manufacturing small or large quantities of tailored materials, utilizing a variety of techniques, such as but not limited to 3-D printing, spraying, molding and freeze casting to produce a broad spectrum of material compositions and forms suitable for a variety of oyster species and estuarine environments.
