Moana New Zealand’s oysters are farmed in the pristine tidal waters of Aotearoa and our Pacific oysters perfectly capture the freshness and vitality of the waters they are harvested from.

As an expanding industry worldwide, aquaculture offers plenty of opportunities, with unlimited potential for growth and the chance to live in some of Aotearoa’s best regions - Coromandel and Northland.

Moana is leading the way by integrating new ways of working and innovative technology into our operations, to support future growth ambitions and the increasing worldwide demand for our premium oysters.
