“The oyster industry on the South Coast is so much part of the celebration food of the nation,” Mr Martin said.
“This funding can drive the industry recovery, the competitive issues, regulatory issues. All those key aspects of the Aquaculture Vision Statement that need the resources to drive the sector to $300-million by 2030,” he said.
“That’s the vision. That’s the target.”
