Blue Marine has developed a strong working group in the Solent, in partnership with the University of Portsmouth, the University of Southampton, Environment Agency, Natural England, Southern IFCA, Cefas, Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust, Langstone Harbour Board, River Hamble Harbour Authority, MDL Marinas, 1851 Trust, the Solent Protection Society and local fishermen. In 2021, the first oyster reef was created in Langstone Harbour and in 2023 we created our second reef in the River Hamble which is now home to more than 20,000 oysters. The Project Officer will work closely with Blue Marine’s Solent Project Manager and Restoration Science Manager to continue the programme of work to restore four hectares of native oyster reefs across the Solent.

This is an incredible chance to join a highly impactful charity at the cutting edge of marine conservation, and an opportunity to support Blue Marine’s work to addresses some of the biggest challenges facing the UK’s marine environment.

Salary: £28,000 – £32,000 per annum, dependent on skills and experience

Contract: 1 year fixed term contract, with the possibility of extension dependent on funding.

Hours: 35 hours per week, Monday to Friday. N.B. This job will involve fieldwork, which is often weather and tide dependent, therefore flexibility is required where necessary.

Location: Office based in the Solent, with some days in central London. Field work predominantly in Hampshire and West Sussex. Other travel as necessary. Due to the requirements of the role candidates will require a Full UK driving licence with access to a vehicle and be comfortable driving vans/larger vehicles.

Application deadline: Sunday 23rd February

Interviews: W/C 10th March

We are committed to an inclusive workplace, where there is equality of opportunity. We value diversity and welcome applications from all sections of the community.

About the Project

Between 1972 and 2006, the Solent supported the largest native oyster fishery in Europe. In 1978, 450 vessels were involved in oyster fishing and 15 million oysters were removed in that year alone. However, since this peak, the oyster population has declined significantly and in 2013 the fishery collapsed. In the UK native oyster reefs have declined by 95 per cent as a result of overfishing, pollution, disease, habitat loss and other pressures. Native oyster ecosystems have recently been classified as ‘collapsed’ by the IUCN Red List of Ecosystems. Native oysters are classified as a priority species in the UK’s Biodiversity Action Plan and restoration is a high priority at the national, European and global level. Globally, an estimated 85 per cent of oyster beds and reef habitats have been lost, making oyster beds one of the world’s most imperilled marine habitats. Oysters are ecosystem engineers and provide a range of benefits to the environment and people. They improve water quality - a single oyster can filter up to 200 litres of water every day - provide habitat to other fish and marine life, and act as a natural defence to coastal erosion. Their value as a food source can be dated back to Roman times in the UK. Unfortunately, the loss of the native oyster has meant that much of these benefits have been lost in the Solent.

The Solent Oyster Restoration Project is restoring native oysters and the benefits they bring through four key interventions:

• Oyster nurseries: a network of oyster nurseries – adult oysters placed in high densities – have been suspended below the surface of the water from pontoons working in partnership with marinas.
• Oyster reefs: using shell and gravel (cultch), four hectares of oyster reefs are being created in areas protected from fishing and restored with oysters to re-establish wild populations.
• Restorative aquaculture: developing the system of floating baskets to on-grow juvenile oysters in the Solent to eventually relay onto seabed reef sites.
• Community outreach: through volunteer programmes, the project is raising awareness of the need for oyster restoration and its importance.

Roles & responsibilities:

• Support the Solent Project Manager in delivering the day-day management of the Solent Oyster Restoration Project objectives.
• Responsible for organising logistics for SORP activities including maintenance and management of broodstock oyster nurseries, organising storage and deposition of cultch material, shell and oyster collection, and other restoration materials and activities.

• Responsible for organising meetings such as technical working group meetings, project updates, oyster biosecurity events, as well as external stakeholder workshops and outreach events.
• Manage Blue Marine’s coupelle (oyster spat collector) deployments and data with the University of Portsmouth.
• Manage Blue Marine’s aquatic animal holding licences and ensure that licence/permit conditions are met, and biosecurity protocols are adhered to.
• Work with Blue Marine’s Education Unit to develop and manage an outreach and engagement programme for the project.

• Maintain and manage an active volunteer network in the Solent as part of the projects monitoring programme.
