Overview

The Pacific Coast Shellfish Growers Association (PCSGA) was founded in 1930 and represents shellfish grower’s interests in Alaska, Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii. Annually, members produce over 100 million pounds of shellfish such as oysters, geoduck, mussels, clams and scallops. In 1995, PCSGA partnered with the scientific community, regulators and shellfish growers to form the Pacific Shellfish Institute (PSI) whose mission is to conduct research on shellfish and disseminate scientific and technical information to growers, regulators and others in the research community.
