  • Half a million oysters to be introduced to Humber estuary in restoration plan
    DUKAS_174743487_EYE
    Half a million oysters to be introduced to Humber estuary in restoration plan
    European flat oyster is defined as ‘collapsed’ in UK but there are hopes it could return to coastal waters.

    Half a million native European flat oysters will be introduced to the estuary after being carefully nurtured by Wilder Humber, a partnership between Yorkshire Wildlife Trust, Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust and the green energy company Ørsted.

    Yorkshire Wildlife Oyster Restoration project, based on the Spurn Point, Humberside.
    The project aims to restore the number of native oysters on the seabed of the North sea and Humber estuary.
    Oyster Larvae are bred and hatched in a bio controlled location by the The Oyster Restoration Co in remote Scotland. The first batch of 400,000 oysters were transported to Yorkahire Wildlife site on the 4th September 2024 and placed to grow in controlled tanks.

  • ‘A shark bit my arm and leg off. Now I want to save the species’
    DUKAS_142005343_EYE
    ‘A shark bit my arm and leg off. Now I want to save the species’
    From near-fatal shark attack survivor to passionate sealife campaigner, unconventional conservationist Paul de Gelder is on a mission to change the way we see the world’s most misunderstood predator.

    ‘These special creatures which keep our oceans healthy are being slaughtered’: Paul de Gelder at home in Marina Del Ray, Los Angeles, California.

    As animal kingdom reputations go, sharks don’t exactly have the best of them. As any good publicist will tell you, “attack” isn’t really the word you want most closely associated with your brand. But Australian conservationist Paul de Gelder is a man on a mission, determined to change the way we think about these much misunderstood predators of the sea.

  • The solution to California’s rampant sea urchin problem is to eat them. I gave it a try
Biologists and chefs are urging people to chow down on the purple sea urchins that are destroying California’s vital kelp forests. Could I catch and cook my own?

    The solution to California’s rampant sea urchin problem is to eat them. I gave it a try Biologists and chefs are urging people to chow down on the purple sea urchins that are destroying California’s vital kelp forests. Could I catch and cook my own?
    The Pacific Coast, California, March 27th, 2021.
    With the loss of natural predators sea urchin population has grown unchecked along the Pacific Northwest, contributing to the decimation of the kelp forests. Chef Ali Bouzari wants to promote people eating sea urchin roe, (or uni) as a way to reduce their population.“Babe! I sprayed mouth everywhere!”
    I never thought I’d find myself screaming these words on a tranquil Sunday morning in my tiny San Francisco kitchen. Then again, I never thought I’d find myself staring at a sink full of spiky, purple aliens with a knife murderously clutched in one hand, the ethereal voice of Phoebe Bridgers softly crooning in the background. But these vibrant little aliens – purple sea urchins, in actuality – have become a major headache for the Pacific west coast. Their population has exploded by 10,000% since 2014, with scientists blaming the decline of sea otter and starfish populations – two of the urchin’s natural predators.
    Hundreds of millions of purple sea urchins now blanket the coast from Baja to Alaska, where they have been devouring the region’s vital kelp forests, doing untold damage to the marine ecosystem in the process. In California, it is estimated that 95% of the kelp forests, which serve as both shelter and food to a wide range of marine life, has been decimated and replaced by so-called “urchin barrens” – vast carpets of spiked purple orbs along the ocean floor.
    That’s why marine biologists and chefs have teamed up to release a new predator into their natural environment: me.

Then again, I never thought I’d find myself staring at a sink full of spiky, purple aliens with a knife murderously clutched in one hand, the ethereal voice of Phoebe Bridgers softly crooning in the background. But these vibrant little aliens – purple sea urchins, in actuality – have become a major headache for the Pacific west coast. Their population has exploded by 10,000% since 2014, with scientists blaming the decline of sea otter and starfish populations – two of the urchin’s natural predators.
    Hundreds of millions of purple sea urchins now blanket the coast from Baja to Alaska, where they have been devouring the region’s vital kelp forests, doing untold damage to the marine ecosystem in the process. In California, it is estimated that 95% of the kelp forests, which serve as both shelter and food to a wide range of marine life, has been decimated and replaced by so-called “urchin barrens” – vast carpets of spiked purple orbs along the ocean floor.
    That’s why marine biologists and chefs have teamed up to release a new predator into their natural environment: me.
