A couple of weeks ago, I had a great time documenting the incredible work of The Wild Oysters Project with Matt Worthington, and supported by Matt Jarvis. The Wild Oysters Project is a collaboration between Zoological Society of London (ZSL), Blue Marine Foundation, Groundwork South and North Tyneside and other local contractors and volunteers.
The project saw the creation of an artificial oyster reef off Tyneside in North East England, and the release of over 10,000 European native oysters, as part of oyster restoration efforts in the area!
It received incredible publicity, and I'm thrilled that my footage ended up on prime time BBC News and a piece by the World Economic Forum, alongside other national and international news outlets!
Working on this project was a great challenge, especially flying my drone off small fishing boats. I worked as the primary drone pilot, camera operator and photographer. This footage will form part of a short documentary, due to be released next year.
