The BCSGA is calling for the recognition of Aquaculture as Agriculture by the Federal Government. Shellfish farmers are part of Canada's sustainable agriculture!

It's time to step up and support Canada’s shellfish industry!
We're calling on the Federal government to increase funding in Budget 2024 and to modernize management policies!

Why are oysters so good for us? For starters, they are very protein-dense, provide a huge amount of B12, and one of the best sources of zinc. bit.ly/2X89wEd
