We had to speed this one up a bit. I will learn to be a bit quicker one day.
The invasive rocks oysters gathered by Martin and Co. This is an environmental and economic news story just waiting to explode. No idea why it hasn’t yet! 💥
The oysters are a pest, introduced to Cornwall in the 1960s as an aquaculture product. They quickly spread, out of control, reefing up areas previously home to various other native organisms, to the detriment of our natural biodiversity. Groups of people regularly take hammers to the intertidal zone to destroy these Pacific oysters, inhibiting the spread. That’s not what Martin Webster does! Webster has the tenacity and knowledge to seek them out, harvest them, clean them and purify them for us to sell.
They’re stunning oysters 🦪 and beyond abundant.
Merci for your patient attention. 🙏
