Restoration of Oyster Reefs to Protect Irish Coasts
A €1.5m all-island project, BRICONS, aims to restore native oyster reefs and protect Ireland's coasts.
Universities including UCD, ATU, QUB, and TCD are collaborating on the project, which is funded by the Marine Institute's Marine Research Programme.
Oyster reefs, such as Ostrea edulis reefs in Connemara, serve many biodiversity functions but are at risk globally, with an estimated 85% loss worldwide.
- Project led by Dr Paul Brooks from UCD's School of Biology and Environmental Science
- Partners include Atlantic Technological University, Queen's University Belfast, and Trinity College Dublin
- Five-year project funded by the Marine Institute's Marine Research Programme
