🎄Best wishes for the holidays from the Wild Oysters team! Thank you to everyone who has helped and taken part in the #WildOysters project this year. We have made fantastic progress and we are looking forward to more #NativeOyster#restoration in the new year!
Our oyster hotels are in! We enjoyed showing the oysters to Rudders Boatyard customers.
These provide a great engagement tool, and we look forward to showing them to others throughout the #NaturamByth project. Thanks @OystersEdge#nativeoyster
Last month we hosted the MMO’s Marine Licensing and Strategic Renewables teams at Sunderland Marina! They visited us on their away day to help monitor the associated biodiversity and health of our oyster nurseries #AwayDay#Volunteer#NativeOyster
#Ullapool Primary School Community Engagement Group planning how to help with the @seawilding Loch Broom #nativeoyster project. Getting them to shout 'Mollusc' instead of 'Cheese' was a mistake... Thanks again to @NORA_Europe for producing great educational materials.🦪❤️
🗣We're back at #Carrickfergus for the Siege Day with @BlueRecoveryNI discussing the marine environment, historical #nativeoyster reefs🦪, seagrass 🌱, seabirds 🪿, underwater #VR and have an interactive #WishFish 🐟 board to show what you want to see happen! Here until 4pm 🌊
Learn more in our #NativeOyster nursery science report by @Bluemarinef which was made possible by the dedicated support of our volunteers, students & interns helping us to collect the monitoring data outlined in this report 🙌🦪 Thank you / Diolch!

The closing session for the #ReMeMaRe24 was on Restoration in Action, talks focused on current projects along with their successes, lesson learned and what challenges they face.🌊
🦪 It’s oyster spawning season! A single oyster can release millions of larvae each year and even change gender!🔄 These amazing ecosystem engineers improve our coastal waters, providing vital services. 💙 #NativeOyster#OysterFacts
And that concludes Day 1 of @CuanBeo and @MarineInst 2024 cultch deployment! ✅
42 tonnes of shell strategically deployed on St George's Bed in Galway Bay to increase substrate for #NativeOyster larval settlement and expand our existing #NativeOyster reef restoration.
@RathlinSoundMF you were brilliant! Thank you all who came to #Rathlin to talk to me, @BlueRecoveryNI and @IWDGnews on #MPAs, #nativeoyster 🦪, #marinemammals 🐋 on urgent needs for our #marine environment 🤝❗️ Wonderful to meet Woody from @LIFERathlin to link in with their work
