INTERVIEW WITH
MICHAEL OFFICER
Green Fridays is joined by Michael Officer, Programme Manager at CuanBeo, a community-led non-profit working to restore native oyster reefs in Galway Bay. In this conversation, Michael explains why oysters are far more than a delicacy — they’re ecosystem engineers that filter water, boost biodiversity and even support seagrass and saltmarsh restoration.

Green Fridays is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to provide a guide and resource for people that wish to embark on living a greener life. Green Fridays is inspired by the lifetime of work carried out by inspirational individuals such as Greta Thunberg, Sir David Attenborough, Ernestine Leikeki, Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr OBE and countless other individuals who have played a huge role in striving for a greener and cleaner world. We hope to highlight key areas that require addressing in the world and show where you can make a difference, small or big, to this environmental effort.
