Work clothing for shellfish farming

Sea and shellfish farming professions: When passion rhymes with protection

Shellfish farming is the art of cultivating shellfish, these treasures of our coasts. Oysters, mussels, clams… their breeding requires unique know-how and foolproof equipment. Because working at sea means facing the elements with passion and determination.

Men and women of the sea, united by a common passion

• The oyster farmer, the true conductor of the oyster farm, masters each stage of the process: from catching the spat to refining in the open sea, including rearing in the open sea. Patience, observation and knowledge of the tides are his key words .
• The mussel farmer is the mussel expert. He knows the subtleties of their culture, whether they are raised on ropes suspended in the water or on bouchots, these wooden stakes planted in the foreshore.
• The general shellfish farmer is a true jack of all trades, capable of breeding different species of shellfish, thus diversifying his activity and his sources of income.
• The oyster/mussel worker is the pillar of the operation. He supports the oyster or mussel farmer in all daily tasks: sorting shellfish, cleaning the parks, preparing shipments, etc.

State-of-the-art equipment to brave the elements

In this demanding environment, each piece of equipment is designed to offer optimal protection and facilitate work:

• The oilskins, these emblematic garments of seafarers, are designed to resist the onslaught of wind, rain and sea spray. Jackets, pea coats, pants, bib tops… they form a real waterproof second skin. Reinforced knee designs provide added durability when handling heavy objects, while ergonomic hoods protect the face without obstructing vision.
• Long waterproof coats are the allies of particularly rainy days. They cover the entire body, from head to toe, and allow you to stay dry even during the most intense downpours.
• Fisherman's clothing are appreciated for their comfort and robustness. Jackets, jackets, bib tops, bib pants and aprons are made from materials that are resistant to abrasion and tears. Fleeces, for their part, provide comforting warmth during sea trips in cold weather.
• Boots, in recycled PVC, polyurethane or EVA, are essential for keeping feet dry. They provide excellent grip on wet and slippery surfaces, preventing falls. The neoprene-lined models provide additional thermal insulation, protecting the feet from the cold.
• The waders, these waterproof suits that go up to the chest, allow you to work with your feet in the water without fear of humidity. Also designed for women with our model of Ultra-resistant women's waders with reinforcements specially developed for oyster farmers, they offer optimal protection whatever the conditions. Reinforced models are particularly suitable for harsh environments, where the risk of snags and tears is greater.
• Waterproof hats protect the face and head from bad weather. They often have drawstrings to keep them in place even in strong winds.
