Coffin Bay Oyster Farm was established in 1997 by Lester Marshall.
As one of the very first oyster farms on the Lower Eyre Peninsula of South Australia, Coffin Bay Oyster Farm has provided innovation and leadership to the oyster industry. In prior years producing up to 300 tonnes of oysters annually for distribution to wholesale markets nationally and internationally.
Today the farm covers 38 ha across multiple bays and creates local employment opportunities. Below are pictures of the overall farm, which is in water shallow enough to wade through. The farm consists of baskets in which the oysters grow. There are tourist dinner boats that regularly visit along with boats containing the workers.
