Oyster aquaculture is an important generator of employment and economic activity in rural coastal communities along the eastern shore of the province.

Across Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, and Newfoundland, shellfish farmers and harvesters produce a wide variety of species such as oysters, mussels, clams, scallops, and more.

The sector supports thousands of jobs and fuels coastal economies. From small-scale harvesters and family-run farms to larger commercial operations, shellfish are deeply woven into the region’s culture and identity.
