Treasure Coast Shellfish

Treasure Coast Shellfish is located just south of the Sebastian Inlet in the pristine waters of the Indian River Lagoon in Sebastian, Florida. We are currently the only farm growing oysters in this special place, and are proud to be a part of the next generation of sustainable aquaculture farmers on the East Coast of Florida. Our founder, Nicolette Mariano, grew up in the small town of Stuart, Florida. Just a few miles from her home was the Indian River Lagoon estuary. Over the years, Nicolette and many others have observed the tolls taken on this magnificent waterway due to over-harvesting wild shellfish populations, leading to habitat loss, water quality issues, shoreline erosion, and increased damage from natural disasters. After over a decade of being in the aquaculture industry, Nicolette decided not only did she want to continue to help educate and restore one of North America's most biodiverse estuaries, but wanted to do it in a way that incorporated sustainable local seafood as well.
