To celebrate the NSW Oyster Conference happening next week in Batemans Bay, Australia's Oyster Coast (AOC) are running a photography competition recognising the industry's role on the south coast.
The oyster industry has been operating on the south coast for more than 140 years and AOC are hoping the competition will pay tribute to the history of the industry and record the importance of oysters for future generations.
