A Seychellois team is conducting a feasibility study to operate a rock oyster farm with the end product being made available for local and international consumption.
The Rock Oyster team is doing the study through a SCR 1 million Blue Grant Fund from the Seychelles Conservation and Climate Adaptation Trust (SeyCCAT) to determine the economic viability to operate a rock-oyster farm for commercial purposes in the island nation.
While this would not be the first oyster farm to be established in the western Indian Ocean island state, it would be the first time that the oysters would be produced for food rather than for pearls.
