Marine Ecosystem
Nature & Lagoon Environment
Set in the heart of the Dakhla lagoon, the oyster farm benefits from an exceptional marine ecosystem characterized by pure waters and rich biodiversity. Protected from strong Atlantic swells, the lagoon provides ideal conditions for oyster cultivation.
Pacific oysters grow slowly in open water, naturally nourished by lagoon plankton, resulting in a delicate, briny taste and refined texture.
Origins and Development
Oyster farming in Dakhla began in the early 2000s, inspired by the lagoon’s outstanding environmental qualities. Sustainable techniques are used to preserve ecological balance, with oysters raised in suspended systems that are regularly maintained for optimal quality.
