Organic mussels

Our mussel cultivation business has been using mussel seed capture installations (MCIs) to collect mussel seed since 2001. We were true pioneers in this field. It is impossible to imagine the mussel cultivation industry today without MCIs and we are proud to have been instrumental in the development of this innovation.

As our organic mussels access their feed naturally from the marine environment, the organic requirements are centred on the following environmentally-friendly management practises.

• A sustainable management plan following the principles of organic production
• Responsible sourcing of seed from sustainable stock
• All floats are grey to minimise visual impact
• Respect for nature and biodiversity
• Removal of barnacles and starfish only mechanically
• Waste reduction, reuse and recycling: progressively working towards the elimination of non-recyclable materials
