The Ministry for Primary Industries made the decision to remove all the farmed oysters from the bay in 2017, after the deadly Bonamia ostreae parasite was detected on oyster farms in the area.
It's unlikely oyster farms will ever return to Big Glory Bay but would you like to see another farm in the south?

Our littlest people need your help. Poverty doesn’t start at 5, but until now there’s been no nationwide programme to help preschoolers who are hungry and cold.
KidsCan is changing that. They’re delivering raincoats, shoes and five fresh meals a week to 25 early childhood centres. Attendance is up, and the children are happier and more settled.
"Everyone has the same meal so children don't feel like they have less," Manaia View Kindergarten teacher Kathy Belz says. "It's upholding everyone's mana.”
40 more centres are waiting for help. KidsCan, Stuff and Neighbourly have partnered up to raise enough money to support 1000 more children - and we need 400 more generous Kiwis to hold little hands. To support a child, sign up at KidsCan.org.nz

Do they know the day you laughed so hard you cried? Do they know your proudest achievement or your favourite teacher?
We plan for so many events in our life, but sadly New Zealanders don’t appear so keen to plan for their funeral. As Funeral Directors, every day we see the struggle families have when trying to make the decisions which will best honour their loved one’s life.
Take the Time to Talk is a campaign by the Funeral Directors Association of New Zealand (FDANZ) to encourage people to spend time sharing their life stories and talking about final farewells. The sharing of your life story isn’t something that has to be done in your absence, don’t leave it up to someone else to tell your story – do it now, when you can enjoy being a part of the conversation.
Why not take one piece of stress away from your family by letting them know your story and wishes ahead of time. When the time comes, these conversations can be translated to plan a meaningful gathering to remember and celebrate your life . The discussions can help your family make important decisions about how they wish to remember and honour you.
The staff at Avenal Park Funeral Home can assist you with your arrangements.
We are located at 75 Fox Street, Invercargill or ring us on 03 218 9021 and we can come and visit you.
