GUERNSEY SEA FARMS

Guernsey Sea Farms is based in Guernsey, an independent island of the Channel Islands. The island is located in deep water and is biologically isolated with France and UK with no native populations of oysters or mussels. With excellent seawater quality and a favourable climate GSF is ideally situated for the culture of oysters... Guernsey Sea Farms was set up in the early 1970's as an oyster nursery mainly supplying the oyster farming industry in France. It later ran into difficulties and it was only when Mark and Penny Dravers built the hatchery in 1983 that the business become properly secure and profitable... Guernsey Sea Farms is one of just two mollusc hatcheries in the UK, and for over thirty-five years has been supplying disease free oyster seed to farms around the world as well as providing an efficient and reliable service to laboratories for Ecotoxicology.
