OYSTERS
…Eating them might be like licking snot off a tortoise but there is little argument about the benefits these molluscs bring to our coastal waters. They are essentially the caretakers of the oceans, acting as natural water purifiers by cleaning out pollution from seas and rivers. Around 1,300 native oysters have been returned to waters in River Conwy, North Wales, as part of a project to bring back these creatures from the brink of extinction. The Wild Oysters Project – a partnership between Zoological Society of London, Blue Marine Foundation, and British Marine – aims to restore healthy, resilient coastal waters to the UK. In a bid to restore native oyster populations, nurseries filled with oysters will be suspended underneath marina pontoons in Conwy Marina and Deganwy Marina.
