The Restoration Forth project
The next Esk Valley Trust evening Zoom talk will be about the Restoration Forth project and will be on Thursday evening 1 February 2024 starting at 19.30.
Restoration Forth is a marine restoration project in the Firth of Forth to re-establish seagrass meadows and re-introduce native oysters. Oysters and Seagrass bring many benefits to the marine environment, including water filtration and carbon capture. Restoration Forth is focusing mainly on the impacts oysters and seagrass have for biodiversity, as seagrass meadows and oyster beds are a foundation for habitat for a wealth of other creatures. The project aims to demonstrate the possibilities and create a toolkit for restoration that can be taken forward and inspire more people to protect and restore our Firth of Forth.
The Restoration Forth project team gave an excellent overview of the project. You can watch the presentation from Eleri from the Scottish Seabird Centre, and Anna from the Marine Conservation Society here.
