Would you like to see oysters farms back in the south?

Georgia Weaver Reporter from Southland Times

Big Glory Bay oyster farmers on Stewart Island have been paid out nearly $2.5 million in compensation after being forced to close their businesses.

The Ministry for Primary Industries made the decision to remove all the farmed oysters from the bay in 2017, after the deadly Bonamia ostreae parasite was detected on oyster farms in the area.

It's unlikely oyster farms will ever return to Big Glory Bay but would you like to see another farm in the south?
