More than 30,000 oysters have been returned to the Firth of Forth after a century’s absence as part of an award-winning Scots conservation project. Restoration Forth, a WWF Scotland scheme, picked up the Coast and Waters Award for their incredible efforts at Thursday night’s Nature of Scotland Awards in Edinburgh .
Considered a "wonder plant", seagrass meadows are a haven for marine life as well as absorbing carbon from the atmosphere. Restoration Forth beat off stiff competition from other eco projects to claim the Nature of Scotland gong at RSPB Scotland’s glitzy annual bash, held at the Edinburgh International Conference Centre.
