A native oyster nursery has been established at Bangor Marina to mark world Endangered Species Day and return the priority species to its former glory.
Native oysters, which are one of the world’s most imperilled species, became extinct in Belfast Lough in 1903, only to be discovered again in 2020 at six sites.
Ulster Wildlife is behind the first of its kind initiative to boost the ‘ocean superheroes’ on the island of Ireland.
