Humber oyster monitoring finds young spat forming mini reefs
A field team from North Wales Wildlife Trust and Yorkshire Wildlife Trust reported finding many native oysters during monitoring at Spurn Point, with young oyster spat forming small reefs on scallop shells. Samples were taken for analysis of abundance, size and mortality. The partners have not published a count or survival estimate, so this observation does not quantify recovery against Wilder Humber’s 500,000-oyster target. The monitoring visit date was not stated.
