Amazing story to start the new year🤩 Oyster fishermen in Kerry protect seagrass & restore one of the largest native oyster beds in Europe. Ground-up initiatives like this must be supported by new national Marine Protected Area legislation. #FairSeas

Kerry fishermen are leading the way in helping to save vast sea meadows that capture more carbon than rainforests.

Excellent, great to see the oyster 'gardening' idea brought from the US into this island. Hopefully Glenarm will be full of thriving oyster beds, clear water and healthy habitats soon. They're in great hands w my old QUB colleague Dr Dave Smyth doing what he does and knows best🦪
The native oyster was considered extinct in Northern Ireland, but local conservationists are helping it start a dramatic comeback. @LouiseMCullen has been to the site of Northern Ireland's second oyster nursery at Glenarm Marina.

Fantastic talk by @ruththurstan presenting, among other things, preliminary results from the Historical Ecology Working Group at the #seascapesymposium. Very striking story of the historical abundance and distribution of oyster habitat.

Proper fisheries management isn’t just about stocks - it’s about maintaining the healthy ecosystem needed for a sustainable fishery @SP_RuralAffairs

95% of the UK’s native oyster population has disappeared due to pressures such as overfishing and pollution. Restoring oyster beds could help fight climate change, as they take in carbon to help build their shells. Visit @SavingESTER to find out how to support restoration efforts

Cornish fishermen catch up to 70 different species, but this requires many types of fishing gear. This is expensive and stocks are rapidly changing due rising water temperatures. 'Plenty More Fish?' explores how climate change is affecting Cornwall's fishing industry, link in bio

The pre-print of the GWAS study on growth traits in the flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) is out! Great collaboration between @CefasGovUK @roslininstitute @EdinburghUni @Bluemarinef @lochnell_oyster. Seeing this out makes the hours of sticking tiny labels on tiny oysters worth it!
