Oysters and mussels reintroduced at Porlock today

Oysters and mussels are being reintroduced to Porlock Bay in Somerset today. Oyster farming at Porlock Weir was once a thriving industry but 100 years ago the beds were raided and destroyed by trawlers from the North East of England.

Today a group of volunteers is putting in baby oysters and ropes seeded with mussels. If they're successful they hope to expand the farm and supply local restaurants.
