Summary
Restoration of the European native oyster is underway across Europe, and Scotland provides a good example of the current experience and lessons to be learnt for future restoration work. Translocations of shellfish carry inherent risks that must be taken into account when considering whether this is the most appropriate conservation action to take. Marine restoration projects require strict biosecurity protocols to address disease and non-native species risks relevant to both species translocation and associated operations. Native oyster restoration is a long-term commitment and projects need to organise appropriate surveys and consultation periods before starting work, together with long-term monitoring after the initial deployment phase.
