Pacific Oysters 

(Crassostrea gigas)
 

Cultivated in the sheltered waters of Portland Harbour using our own system developed specifically to make the most of our location.

Pacific Oysters are bivalves with super powers! An exceptionally sustainable form of food production, tackling climate change and improving water quality, whilst providing a incredible source of nutrition. Oysters and other shellfish farming have a low carbon footprint and can even be a carbon sink, locking carbon away in their shells.

By filtering all their food from the surrounding seawater, oysters actually clean up
excess algae and other particles that result from high nutrient agriculture inputs.
This cleaner water enhances the growth of seagrass and larger seaweeds, in turn
sheltering and feeding wide ecological communities.
