​COMMITMENT TO INVESTING IN THE FUTURE
It is with great pride that we continue investing in waters of the Gulf of Mexico. Throughout the year we recycle oyster shell into our bays and during the early summer months when oysters spawn we set out tons of rock and cultch material which help's create new reefs. Over the past 4 years we have set over 20,000 tons of rock into the Gulf of Mexico. Creating this substrate not only provides us with oysters but increase water quality creating a habitat for fish, crab and other organisms.
Prestige Oysters MSC CERTIFIED FISHERY

At Prestige Oysters, sustainability is the foundation of our fishery. For more than 20 years, we’ve invested in responsible harvesting, reef restoration, and long-term stewardship of Texas and Louisiana waters.
​
Prestige Oysters became the first oyster fishery in the United States to enter full assessment under the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) Fisheries Standard, one of the world’s most rigorous sustainability certifications for wild-caught seafood. The independent assessment evaluated stock health, environmental impact, and fishery management.
​
We harvest exclusively from private leases using responsible methods designed to protect reef structure and support natural regeneration. Reef preservation is central to our mission — since the BP oil spill, we’ve placed over 400 million pounds of cultch, investing more than $10 million into rebuilding oyster reefs and strengthening the marine ecosystem.
​
As a family-owned company, we believe transparency matters. Pursuing third-party certification reinforces our commitment to meeting the highest standards — for our customers, our partners, and the future of our waters.
