Britain is dropping 20 concrete reef cubes and 44 tons of scallop shells into the sea to bring back native oysters
Engineered concrete cubes are being deployed in Britain’s North Sea to restore native oyster populations. These structures provide a stable foundation for oysters and habitat for marine life. The project aims to rebuild a collapsed ecosystem after a significant decline in oyster numbers. Volunteers are actively involved in cleaning and attaching oysters to the reef cubes.
