Leeuwin Coast is proud to be on a journey focused on re-defining best practice in sustainable shellfish aquaculture. Maintaining this focus on a commercial scale means the marine environments we operate in continue to thrive and produce the best quality seafood.

No shortcuts

Shellfish aquaculture is inherently sustainable - it doesn’t involve the addition of any feed or chemical treatments to the water. Oysters even sequester carbon into the shell as they grow, and we are constantly assessing our practices to further reduce our climate impact.

Carbon Neutral

In 2020 our aquaculture products were the first in Australia to be certified Carbon Neutral by Climate Active - a rigorous Australian Government initiative. This means we have achieved net zero carbon emissions in the production of our shellfish.
