During the European Researchers’ Night, we presented the POPOYSTER project. Visitors had the opportunity to learn why oysters are important for a healthy ecosystem. Children discovered the different species that can live on oyster reefs and even tried building their own miniature reefs, adding various marine organisms to them.
This activity proved to be very engaging for children, who showed great curiosity and asked many questions. Around 10,000 people visited the event in Split, and many of them surely went home knowing a bit more about oysters and their vital role in marine ecosystems.
