Shellfish growers recognize that clean water and a healthy environment are essential to farming. Growers, working with marine scientists and regulatory agencies, maintain an Environmental Codes of Practice based on the latest research and best management practices. The ECOP is updated periodically to keep current with advancements in science and culture technology. Producing a safe, sustainable and wholesome product is essential to the members of PCSGA. Clean water, a healthy growing environment, and careful handling and processing are all necessities. PCSGA members are committed to protecting our bays and estuaries to ensure a healthy supply of sustainably produced shellfish far into the future!
The ECOP is available to all PCSGA members, who are strongly encouraged to adhere to these best management practices. The ECOP was last updated June 2019.
