Oyster Industry Response to the COVID19 Crisis

In response to the COVID19 crisis, Oysters Australia is investigating ways of supporting the industry, particularly through initiatives that could minimise the "gridlock" of oysters along the supply chain, maintain sales of oysters, thereby preserving some income through the value chain. Numerous forms of support for the seafood industry during the COVID19 crisis has been provided by Federal and State governments. Most of these involve individual businesses applying directly to the government. This investment aims to design a national response that could be implemented using a combination of funds from Oysters Australia and different governments.
