Scientists from the Netherlands began a unique experiment on the basis of a wind farm located in the Dutch town of Luchterduinen on the North Sea coast.

The researchers' task is to restore the former number of marine inhabitants of the sea. The main interest for scientists is the resurrection of a huge population of oysters. According to experts, a wind station can be an excellent base for growing oysters, because there is a ban on deep sea fishing on its territory.

Fishing on trawlers is also prohibited here. In the fall of 2018, about six hundred oysters were planted in the water on the territory of the station. However, only fifteen percent of them managed to take root, since most of the mollusks were covered with sand.

Based on the experience gained and taking into account all their mistakes and achievements, the scientists again sent containers of oyster young animals to the water. However, this time they secured the "houses" a little higher than before. Today, cages with mollusks are fixed on the seabed or on the basis of windmills, which is hidden under water.

Every six months, containers with oysters are raised to assess their condition and the process of growing up. Also, the situation is controlled by special underwater drones equipped with video cameras.

Note that oysters disappeared from the fauna of the North Sea in the last century, as the state of water has deteriorated significantly, and the demand for delicious seafood has grown.

Today, the population of oysters, as well as mussels and other representatives of the marine fauna, is being restored not only to meet the needs of world gourmets, but also so that mollusks can fulfill their usual duty - to filter sea water, improve its quality and, accordingly, draw it into the North Sea other inhabitants.
