Oyster Growers Income Stabilization Program

Published date: May 12, 2026

Oyster Growers Income Stabilization Program 

The Oyster Growers Income Stabilization Program is designed to provide financial stability to eligible oyster growers who experience significant revenue declines due to the unforeseen, uncontrollable factors associated with MSX and/or Dermo, or market disruptions due to the arrival of MSX and Dermo in PEI. The goal of the program is to provide a financial safety net to eligible oyster growers when their current year’s aquaculture operation revenue falls below a defined historical average to support growers through this challenging period as they plan for their future.

Further details on program guidelines will be available shortly.
