Sustainability
At Clearwater Oysters, we are committed to sustainable production of the highest quality oysters. Our innovative mariculture practices utilizing floating cages maintain the coastal environment's integrity by removing the pressure on the historical oyster reefs. These farming methods offer many other numerous advantages:
Superior Quality
Oysters grow individually, resulting in smoother, more uniform, and marketable appearances
Enhanced Protection
Floating cages allow for regular desiccation which reduces parasitic organisms and prevents biofouling
Optimized Growth
Growing at the top of the water column with abundant sunlight, nutrients and sunlight, Periodic tumbling creates deeper, meatier cups and uniform appearances.
Cleaner Environment
Oysters in suspended cages remain free from sediment and debris that is found on the ocean floor.
Faster Growth
Using native Texas broodstock, our oysters grow to market size in 6-8 months, significantly faster than wild oysters
Working through partner programs, such a Sink Your Shucks, we return used oyster shells to the water to propagate new natural reefs. The family’s commitment to sustainability is at the heart of Clearwater Oysters. Innovative aquaculture practices maintain the coastal environment's integrity. These efforts ensure that the ocean’s bounty remains abundant for future generations.
