€1.5m all-island project aims to restore oyster reefs to protect Irish coasts
UCD, ATU, QUB and TCD are working together to restore native oyster reefs and protect Ireland's coasts thanks to a €1.5m award from the Marine Institute.
Oyster reefs serve many biodiversity functions but are at risk globally with an estimated 85% loss worldwide.
A new research project, called BRICONS, is underway to restore native flat oyster reefs and boost the resilience of Ireland’s coasts, with €1.5m in funding from the Marine Institute’s Marine Research Programme.
The five-year project is led by Dr Paul Brooks from the School of Biology and Environmental Science at University College Dublin (UCD) and includes partners at Atlantic Technological University (ATU), Queen’s University Belfast (QUB) and Trinity College Dublin (TCD).
