Points of difference which give Oysters South Australia the edge include:
- The low population density around South Australia's coastline, especially on Eyre and Yorke Peninsulas where our industry is focussed, reduces the risk of pollutants entering our waters.
- South Australia has very low rain-fall and as a result there is little run-off from roads or agricultural areas that may have the potential to pollute our growing regions.
- All South Australian bay waters originate from the clean, untouched and unpolluted Southern Ocean with the nearest land being Antartica.
