€1.5m Project to Restore Oyster Reefs and Protect Irish Coasts
A new research project, BRICONS, has been launched to restore native flat oyster reefs and boost the resilience of Ireland’s coasts, thanks to a €1.5m award from the Marine Institute.
The project, led by Dr Paul Brooks from University College Dublin (UCD), involves partners from Atlantic Technological University (ATU), Queen’s University Belfast (QUB), and Trinity College Dublin (TCD).
Oyster reefs serve many biodiversity functions, but are at risk globally, with an estimated 85% loss worldwide.
Ostrea edulis reefs in Connemara are an example of the reefs the project aims to restore.
The five-year project aims to protect Ireland's coasts through the restoration of native oyster reefs.
