We are thrilled that #RestorationForth has been recognised by a parliamentary motion celebrating the project's success in restoring native oysters to the Firth of Forth! A wonderful way to end the year 🌟 read the full motion here: www.parliament.scot/chamber-and-...

Oysters are booming in the Firth of Forth, thanks to #RestorationForth. Heriot-Watt divers found that the oysters scattered there are thriving.

The last of the oysters we cleaned this morning. Next Wednesday they'll be deployed in the Firth of Forth as part of #RestorationForth Here's hoping they do well. @wwfscotland.bsky.social @mcsuk.bsky.social @seabirdcentre.bsky.social

Let’s show some love to marine life that isn’t so cute and fluffy!

The #RestorationForth team and local community spotted some interesting #MarineLife in the #seagrass meadows in #Orkney. They might look a little bit silly, but these coastal companions are still remarkable. 💙

Take a moment to explore an Orcadian #seagrass meadow & meet the creatures that call it home! 🦀

#Orkney is a special place for #RestorationForth… the seagrass meadows highlight the #MarineLife that this super species can support, and the local community always gives the team a very warm welcome. 💚

Thanks to those who joined #RestorationForth for a Coastal BioBlitz in Burntisland!

A brilliant variety of #MarineLife was recorded, including many fish, invertebrates, seaweeds, butterflies, moths & birds. 🔎

A reminder to take a closer look when in nature - you might be surprised by what you see!

Postcards from the beautiful Orkney Isles. 💌

The #RestorationForth team had a brilliant time in #Orkney. It's always a joy to explore Orkney's thriving #seagrass meadows. The team loved spending time catching up with people in Orkney about the work being done to restore these vital habitats. 🌱
