The BCSGA aims to help farmers modernize and strengthen the shellfish industry by providing farmers with the tools, resources, and expert support needed to develop business plans and key competencies tailored to their operations and goals.
The BC Shellfish Growers Association acknowledges that we and our members largely operate on unceded Indigenous territories across the land now known as British Columbia. Many of our farms are located near archaeological sites, including clam gardens and oyster beds that were cultivated by indigenous peoples. We are grateful for their stewardship of this coast.
