BSAC Operation Oyster recording form

Operation Oyster is a seabed restoration project that aims as a first step to gather baseline data on the locations of the rare native oyster (Ostrea edulis) and its non-native cousins from around the UK. We need you and your club to get involved!

It can be as simple as making every dive an Operation Oyster dive by looking out for these elusive creatures on your favourite wreck, reef or shore dive sites and even the beach or shoreline over the summer.
