More than 15m juvenile oysters are to be released into the North Sea in one of the biggest rewilding projects in UK waters.

The scheme, which will use a unique rearing process, hopes to re-establish a huge oyster bed around Orkney that experts say will create a “trophic cascade” of climate and ecological benefits.

Richard Land, the marine expert leading the project, said it would have a knock-on impact on the entire ecosystem. “It won’t just benefit fish and the bay, it will benefit sea mammals, seabirds and the whole environment.”
