The project which commenced in May 2021, and is led by the MOREFISH group, an aquaculture research unit based at the National University of Ireland, Galway (NUIG). The outputs from ShellAqua will allow operators to estimate the level of ecosystem services they may provide and also contribute to a better understanding the benefits of shellfish aquaculture. The industry partners who supported the ShellAqua application were Wild Atlantic Oysters, Blackshell Farm and Kelly Oysters. The application was also supported by the community-based organisation Cuan Beo and IFA Aquaculture. The locations of these sites will allow for the development of datasets and profiling of mussel (Mytilus edulis) and oyster (Crassostrea gigas) aquaculture in Galway Bay, Clew Bay, Sligo Harbour and Drumcliff Bay.
