Native oysters have been missing from the Forth for over 100 years! Once a cheap street food enjoyed by local residents, they are now in need of our help. The Restoration Forth project have been restoring a population into the Forth, having selected a few suitable areas.
What helps in picking suitable restoration areas, is spotting where oyster shells are along our coastline. Where they once were is a clue to where might be suitable in future.
We were delighted to welcome a group who came along to learn how to identify oyster shells and help us restore the Firth of Forth
