We were delighted to welcome a group of volunteers who came along to help our cause while enjoying an hour on Cramond beach.
Native oysters have been missing from the Forth for over 100 years! Once a cheap street food, eaten and enjoyed in their millions by local residents and people as far as Europe … 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 sites, is spotting where oyster shells are along our coastline. Where they once were is a clue to where might be suitable in future. This is where you can help.
Our group came along to learn how to identify oyster shells and help us restore the Firth of Forth.
Huge thanks for their time, and what a wonderful sunny day!
