Ørsted has launched a five-year programme seeking to restore marine habitats and species throughout the Humber estuary on the east coast of northern England.
The company is partnering with local wildlife trusts and will trial a “seascape-scale” model, aiming to enrich nearly 40 hectares of protected habitats and rebuild the Humber’s lost native oyster population, Ørsted said.
The estuary’s conservation status was downgraded to unfavourable by Natural England in 2012, which was attributed to habitat loss and commercial development.
