Glenmorangie Distillery is funding the Dornoch Environmental Enhancement Project, which will reintroduce four million oysters to a protected area of the Dornoch Firth.
Biodiversity 'set to double in a decade'
Lead author Naomi Kennon said her university's work suggested biodiversity where oyster restoration projects were taking place"will likely double over a decade".Ms Kennon's colleagues examined the impact of oyster reef development and any biodiversity gain at Loch Ryan at different stages after the oyster habitat had been fished.Modelling was then used to predict changes in diversity over time.
Calum Duncan, head of Conservation Scotland at the Marine Conservation Society, said:"The study in Loch Ryan shows that increasing the complexity of the seabed allows many species to find refuge in this living reef." Marine Conservation Society is collaborating on the project with Heriot-Watt and whisky maker Glenmorangie, which provided funding.
