Today I talk with Michael Officer of the Cuan Beo organization in Galway, Republic of Ireland.
Michael and his organization are involved with the restoration of the oyster fishery in the Galway Bay. There have a multifaceted approach to their work. Priority is given to managing the quality and volume of the fresh water entering the bay from the watershed around Galway, North and South. Also, they are making efforts to improve areas of the bay to be more suitable habitat for the oysters. They have also involved themselves in the outdoor recreation opportunities which are now possible with improved water quality.
