Help monitor our oyster restoration site at Spurn! Record growth and wildlife while supporting marine restoration in the Humber estuary.
Please note these events are weather dependent and any changes will be communicated as soon as possible.
These monitoring sessions will involve observing and recording oyster growth, site conditions, and other wildlife found among the oysters. No prior experience is required — guidance will be provided on the day — but participants should be comfortable working outdoors, spending prolonged periods crouched down, and following instructions carefully.
This is a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience in marine restoration and contribute to an important seascape restoration project.
Oysters are ecosystem engineers, filtering up to 200 litres of water per day. Their reefs create vital habitats for marine life, boost biodiversity, and support healthier, more resilient coastlines.
This work forms part of Wilder Humber, an ambitious five-year programme led by Ørsted in partnership with Yorkshire Wildlife Trust and Lincolnshire Wildlife Trust. The programme aims to restore marine habitats and species throughout the Humber estuary — one of the UK’s most important conservation sites and one of Europe’s busiest tidal estuaries.
Together, we are working to restore and enrich nearly 40 hectares of protected habitats and rebuild the Humber’s lost native oyster population to over half a million oysters.
