Author: Cordula Scherer. Until the early 1800s, Dublin Bay was home to abundant oyster reefs, particularly around Clontarf and the area that has become Bull Island. These reefs were so plentiful that oysters were sold as the first “fast food” on Dublin’s streets from the 1850s. However, overexploitation, pollution, and the disease Bonamia ostreae led to their decline, and the native oyster vanished from the bay despite efforts to replenish them from wild oyster banks in the Arklow region.
