It's been a stop-start summer so far for our local producers with wet weather causing a bit of temporary chaos in oyster country! 🌧️ The good news is that Merimbula Lake and Nelson Lagoon are back open again, and it's only a matter of time before our other estuaries follow suit.

GOOD NEWS FROM THE SAPPHIRE COAST! 🦪 Two more of our Sapphire Coast estuaries have opened just in time for Chrissy. 🙌 Oysters will be in high demand so run don't walk! 📍 Merimbula Lake is OPEN. 📍 Wapengo front lake is OPEN. 📍 Nelson Lagoon is OPEN. 📍 Pambula Lake and Wonboyn Lake are still closed at the moment as they received significant catchment inflows. Whilst Pambula Lake is closed, don't forget that @broadwateroysters has teamed up with other local farmers on the Sapphire Coast to supply fresh local oysters via courier and local pickup! 🎄 Thanks for supporting our local producers and we wish you a wonderful festive season - hopefully shared over several dozen of the Sapphire Coast's finest. 📷 Photos by @_seatons_ featuring @tathraoysters #SapphireCoastOysters #sapphirecoastnsw #sapphirecoast #sydneyrockoysters #sydneyrockoyster #rockoyster #rockoysters #merimbula #farsouthcoastnsw #tathra #tidetotable #sustainableseafood #oysterfarm #oysterfarm @visitnsw

Our oyster farmers rely on excellent water quality to produce premium #SydneyRockOysters. 💦 Extensive water quality monitoring and testing is conducted throughout the entire life cycle of the oyster in order to guarantee a pure product. When an extreme weather event such as flooding occurs, a temporary harvest closure may be triggered which can have big impacts on our oysters and producers. Harvest closures are managed by the NSW Food Authority in partnership with local industry. Oysters already have all the water they need, but what they do need is salt. 🧂 When there's too much fresh water in the estuary, oysters will shut their shells and stop filtering until enough saltwater returns via tidal flushing. How long the fresh water remains elevated in the estuary will dictate the survival of the oysters during these kinds of events. So when can estuaries reopen after a harvest closure? Once microbiological testing indicates the estuaries are clean again, the NSW Food Authority will give the green light to open. Different estuaries will usually reopen at different times, depending on the size of the catchment and how much tidal flushing they receive. SAPPHIRE COAST OYSTERS UPDATE 📍Nelson Lagoon is now OPEN. @tathraoysters 📍We're hoping that Merimbula and Wapengo will open by early next week. 📍Pambula and Wonboyn received significant catchment inflows so it will take a bit longer to reopen. #SapphireCoastOysters #sydneyrockoysters #sydneyrockoyster #rockoysters #rockoyster #oysters #oysters #sapphirecoast #sapphirecoastnsw #oysterfarm #oysterfarmer #australianseafood #oysterfarming #sustainableseafood

Sadly not a sight for sore eyes. 🚩 Due to the recent extreme rain and wind event, currently all Sapphire Coast estuaries are closed for oyster harvest. Unfortunately for our local producers (and oyster-lovers), this will affect Christmas supply of #SapphireCoastOysters this year. 🦪 We are unable to harvest oysters until enough saltwater returns to equalise salinity levels, and exactly when this will be depends on how the weather unfolds over the next couple of weeks. 🤞 The entire South Coast region of NSW is impacted at the moment, so spare a thought for our our hardworking farmers and send them some extra Chrissy cheer! 📍Pambula Lake, Sapphire Coast 📷 @broadwateroysters #sydneyrockoysters #rockoysters #sapphirecoastoysters #rockoysters #sydneyrockoyster #oysters #oyster #oysterfarmer #oysterfarm #sustainableseafood #australianseafood #tidetotable #sapphirecoast #pambula #merimbula #farmlife

Just as canaries were used to indicate the air quality of mines in days gone by, oysters can equally be considered the ‘canaries’ of our catchments. 🦪 Healthy oysters reflect healthy estuaries! 💦 Oysters play a key role in the ecology of estuaries as a result of their efficient filtration capacity, which assists in the maintenance of water clarity and aquatic ecosystems. Oyster farmers play a key role as stewards of our estuaries, but we can all play a part to help maintain the health of the catchment and therefore the oyster industry. 🙌 #SapphireCoastOysters 📍 Image 2 & 4: Wonboyn Rock Oysters, @sapphirecoastnsw 📷 @davey_rogers #sapphirecoastnsw #sapphirecoast #oysters #oyster #sydneyrockoysters #sydneyrockoyster #tidetotable #oysterfarmer #aboutregional #australianseafood #sustainablefarming #localproduce #oysterfarm #knowyourfood #rockoysters #rockoyster #mollusc

From little things, #SydneyRockOysters grow. 🦪 Starting out as microscopic creatures, baby oysters drift with the tides before finding a suitable place to attach themselves and grow. Oyster farmers catch wild spat by setting underwater slats, then transfer the oysters to baskets or bags after about 9 months. From there, the oysters will continue to grow for another few years until they can be harvested. By the time they reach your plate, Sydney rock oysters are at least 3 years old. So don't slurp them too fast! #SapphireCoastOysters Pictured here is the wonderful Shane Buckley from @wapengorockswildorganicoysters at pristine Wapengo Lake. 📍 Wapengo Lake, Mimosa Rocks National Park @sapphirecoastnsw 🦪 Wapengo Rocks Wild Organic Oysters 📷 @davey_rogers #sydneyrockoyster #oysters #oyster #rockoyster #rockoysters #wapengo #visittathra #sapphirecoastnsw #sapphirecoast #tidetotable #mollusc #australianseafood #sustainablefarming #oysterfarm #oysterfarmer #localproduce #mollusc #knowyourfood #mimosarocksnationalpark #feelnsw @visitnsw

Did you know that #SydneyRockOysters can survive out of the water for up to 14 days? 🦪 Sydney rocks have the unique ability to keep their shell closed for extended periods of time. It's something they naturally do because they live in an intertidal environment which means they also retain freshness out of the water when harvested. 💦 Store unopened Sydney rock oysters in a cool, dark spot. Select a location with a constant temperature, ideally 10-20°C. Do not store unopened oysters in a refrigerator, on ice or in water. 🙅 The general rule is to consume unopened oysters within 10-12 days of receiving them. During summer this reduces to 7-10 days, as they are fatter and have less room to trap water in their shells. Your oysters are alive until you shuck them. Once oysters have been shucked, consume within 12 hours. #SapphireCoastOysters #sydneyrockoyster #rockoysters #oyster #oysters #rockoyster #mollusc #tidetotable #oysterfarmer #sustainableseafood #sustainablefarming #sapphirecoastnsw #sapphirecoast

Beautiful Bermagui! 🙌 #Bermagui River is located at the northernmost end of the #SapphireCoast, resting beneath spectacular Gulaga mountain. Oysters here possess distinct characteristics reflective of where they are grown in the estuary. Those closest to the estuary mouth contain a saltier flavour profile, whilst sweetness increases upriver. Dense pockets of mangrove forest produce a burst of umami, whilst varying seabed conditions of silt, rock, mud and seaweed encourage a well-rounded creaminess and lingering flavour. Nutrient runoff from surrounding forests is met by a strong tidal flow, encouraging a smooth salt and cream mouthfeel, with moderate sweetness.🦪 #SapphireCoastOysters 📍 Bermagui River, @sapphirecoastnsw 📷 @davey_rogers #SapphireCoastNSW #sydneyrockoysters #sydneyrockoyster #oysters #oysterfarm #oyster #aquaculture #oysterfarming #mollusc #tidetotable #australianseafood #sustainablefarming #feelnsw #newsouthwales #aboutregional #fromwhereidrone #abcaustralia #farsouthcoastnsw @visitnsw

Just like oyster farmers, oysters don't like noise! 😆 In fact, if it becomes too loud, oysters will shut their shells and wait it out until they can find some peace and quiet. 🦪 They don’t have ears, however oysters possess hair cells on the outside of their shells that sense vibration. Researchers believe the #oysters use these hairs to detect things like rising tides giving them cues for when to feed. As sensitive creatures, #SydneyRockOysters are responsive to their natural environment and environmental threats like water quality and even noise pollution. #SapphireCoastOysters #sydneyrockoyster #mollusc #aquaculture #australianseafood #oysterfarmer #oysterfarm #tidetotable #sustainablefarming #regionalnsw

Some exciting news on the Sapphire Coast! @northofedengin have released their amazing new Oyster Shell Vodka, purified by hundreds of local #SapphireCoast Sydney rock oyster shells! 🙌 After much meticulous experimentation in the distillery, including hand-cleaning thousands of oyster shells, North of Eden has cracked the code in this world-first distillation process. 🦪 North of Eden's Master Distiller Gavin Hughes stacks the columns of their small copper alembic stills with hundreds of locally sourced oyster shells. Those shells then act as “purifiers” in the distillation process, allowing this tiny regional distillery to create a beautifully smooth, unfiltered vodka. 🍸 In fact, North of Eden's Oyster Shell Vodka has already picked up silver medals at the International Wine and Spirits Competition and the San Francisco World Spirit Competition. 🔥 Hats off to North of Eden for working with our local oyster farmers to utilise this amazing resource. 🦪 👏 Here are some pics from the launch at their beautiful distillery near Bega, featuring a stellar oyster lineup by @broadwateroysters. 📷 @davey_rogers #SapphireCoastOysters #sapphirecoastnsw #sydneyrocksoysters #sydneyrockoyster #oyster #oysters #feelnsw #newsouthwales #bega #farsouthcoastnsw #mollusc #tidetotable #distillery #broadsheet #goodfoodau #canberralocals @visitnsw

Condition looking prime over at @gillsoysters! 👌 Warmer waters in autumn provide additional food to #SydneyRockOysters which results in a deliciously fat and creamy oyster! Coastal upwelling also occurs during this time, bringing cold and nutrient-rich deeper water towards the sea surface which supports the growth of microscopic plankton, algae and organic matter upon which the #oysters can feed. 🌿 📍 Pambula Lake, Sapphire Coast 🦪 Gill's Oysters 📷 @theoysterhaven #SapphireCoastOysters #sydneyrockoyster #oyster #sapphirecoastnsw #sapphirecoast #pambula #tidetotable #aquaculture #oysterfarmer #mollusc #australianseafood #sustainablefood #feelnsw #newsouthwales @visitnsw @pambulavillage

Life on the river at Pambula! 🙌 Pambula River is a pristine estuary surrounded by the forests of #BeowaNationalPark. The river is a natural spawning ground for the #SydneyRockOyster which thrives in nutrient-rich waters created by the meeting of two rivers and a healthy tidal exchange. Its #oysters are smooth, deep and creamy, with a subtle sweet and salty finish. 🦪 Natural Oyster Co 📍 Pambula Lake, @sapphirecoastnsw 📷 @davey_rogers #SapphireCoastOysters #sapphirecoastnsw #sapphirecoast #pambula #pambularivermouth #merimbula #sydneyrockoysters #oyster #oysterfarming #tidetotable #mollusc

Oysters are nature's vacuum cleaners, helping to keep our estuaries pure and clear! 🙌 They are master filter-feeders, obtaining food by straining microscopic plankton and organic matter from the surrounding waters as they pump it through their gills. 🌿 The gills around the edge of the #oyster are important for both respiration and feeding and have tiny hair-like parts called 'cilia' that create small water currents! 💦 These currents essentially act like a pump to bring a stream of food-rich water into the shell and then remove waste as the water is expelled by the oyster. Gills then sieve out the minute food particles and take these to the oyster's mouth. Wild! #SapphireCoastOysters #sydneyrockoysters #sydneyrockoyster #oysters #mollusc #tidetotable #australianseafood #sapphirecoast #rockoyster

Beautiful Merimbula Lake... what a beauty! 👌 Check out the gorgeous seagrass meadows thriving underneath this floating bag system. We love to see it! 🌿 Most oyster farmers on the #SapphireCoast have transitioned from the traditional rack and rail system to an environmentally sustainable longline system, consisting of recyclable floating cylinders, baskets or bags that clip onto a single line. This system takes up a smaller footprint in the estuary, reducing shading impacts and encouraging seagrass meadows to flourish. Seagrass provides important habitat for critters like juvenile fish, stingrays and crabs. 🦀 💙 🦪 @wheelersoysterfarm 📍 Merimbula Lake, @sapphirecoastnsw 📷 @flyonthewallfilms #SapphireCoastOysters #sapphirecoastnsw #merimbula #oysters #oyster #sydneyrockoysters #sydneyrockoyster #rockoyster #mollusc #tidetotable #australianseafood #aquaculture

Unlike Pacific oysters, Sydney rock oysters are native to Australia and endemic to the east coast. 👌 Although branded as "Sydney Rock”, they grow along a 1500km stretch of intertidal coastline from southern Queensland to northern Victoria. They are rare, natively thriving in just 41 locations along this stretch of coast. The Sapphire Coast is a natural spawning ground for #SydneyRockOysters which enables local growers to catch spat (baby oysters) out in the wild. 🦪 #SapphireCoastOysters #sapphirecoastnsw #sapphirecoast #oysters #sydneyrockoyster #rockoysters #mollusc #oyster #tidetotable #australianseafood #aquaculture
