The idea of creating an entrepreneurial charity harnessing many different disciplines – media, technology, journalism, political campaigning and science, as well as marine conservation- was central to the culture of Blue Marine Foundation

The Solent Seascape Project is establishing a native oyster restoration reef in the Solent and we can help get the 20,000 oysters ready.

Note: places are limited and you must register for this event beforehand and take note of the safety guidance https://bluemarinefoundation.teamkinetic.co.uk/volunteers/opportunity/10270290

Please arrive at 9.30am at Building A in time for the health & safety briefing. We'll then get scrubbing, crunching and dunking the oysters! Refreshments will be provided including tea, coffee, water and pizza. This is an all-day event (until 4.30pm) but as it's the last day of a week of oyster preparation, it may finish early.
