SUPPORTING MARINE RESTORATION
Advancing the Future of European Flat Oysters
For more than 10 years, we have developed innovative hatchery technologies and selective breeding programs to improve the survival and quality of European flat oyster seed (Ostrea edulis). Our work has resulted in significant advances in oyster cultivation, allowing us to supply robust seed to growers and restoration initiatives across Europe. By combining science, innovation, and the unique marine environment of the Koster Islands, we are helping to secure the future of Europe’s native oyster.
Why Restoration Matters
Rebuilding Marine Ecosystems
The European flat oyster (Ostrea edulis) was once abundant throughout European waters, forming vast oyster reefs that supported marine biodiversity and improved water quality. Today, these habitats have largely disappeared due to overharvesting, disease, and habitat loss.
Oysters are far more than a premium seafood product. As natural ecosystem engineers, oyster reefs provide habitat for marine life, improve water quality through natural filtration, and support biodiversity. Restoring native oyster populations is an important step toward healthier coastal ecosystems.

INVESTING IN THE FUTURE
Scaling Up for Greater Impact
For more than a decade, Ostrea Production has developed advanced hatchery technologies and selective breeding programs for the European flat oyster. By combining science, innovation, and the unique marine environment of the Koster Islands, we produce robust oyster seed that supports restoration initiatives, research projects, and sustainable aquaculture throughout Europe.
To meet growing demand, we continue to expand our production capacity through new hatchery technologies, advanced microalgae cultivation, and a unique recirculating aquaculture system (RAS).
These investments allow us to increase production while maintaining the highest standards of quality and sustainability.
