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.
