Two Updates from the Belgian Demo Site: BLUE CONNECT’s Oyster Restoration Pilot Shines in the Lab and on the Stage

The Belgian demo site of the BLUE CONNECT project has had an eventful month, marking two significant milestones in oyster restoration at the Vlaamse Banken MPA. Partners and stakeholders gathered at Ghent University for an up-close look at the oyster spat cultivation facilities, before the latest results were presented to a wider audience at a national symposium in Ostend. Together, these events reflect the growing momentum and collaborative spirit driving marine biodiversity recovery in the North Sea.
