About the event
This is a great opportunity to help in active conservation and to learn more about non-native invasive species. The aim is to remove all Pacific Oysters from Ramsey Harbour and the Queen’s Pier, using divers, snorkelers and walkers. Everyone is welcome. Additionally, you be able to learn about the other species we will find, and learn about Seasearch.
No need to book, free event, but donations to MWT welcome. Meet at the RNLI slipway, Ramsey South Beach
If you have buckets, claw hammers, hammers or small crow bars please bring them. They will be needed to pull the oysters off the wall or alternatively smash them. For any enquiries: lara@mwt.im
