Ulster Wildlife has established the first native oyster nursery on the island of Ireland to help bring this threatened species back from the brink of extinction.
Native oysters became extinct in Belfast Lough in 1903, only to be discovered again in 2020 at six sites. To help boost the Lough's fragile population, 700 native oysters, from Scotland, have been housed in nursery cages under the pontoons of Bangor Marina. As the sea temperature warms, the nursery will produce millions of larvae helping the local population to recover.
Native oysters are ocean superheroes and help to create cleaner water, boost marine biodiversity and support healthy fisheries.
