A nursery of oysters has been introduced at City Quays by Belfast Harbour, in partnership with Ulster Wildlife.
An oyster nursery has been installed in Belfast Harbour in a bid to improve water quality and boost marine life.
For over a century it was thought that native oysters in Northern Ireland were extinct, but a number of oyster restoration initiatives have been launched by Ulster Wildlife in recent years, with similar nurseries being installed in Bangor and Glenarm Marina with great success. The oysters will also contribute to improved water quality in the port, due to their unique ability to reduce water pollution and improve water clarity.
