Pacific Shellfish Institute
Shellfish Research & Services for the U.S. West Coast
Mission:
Fostering sustainable shellfish resources and a healthy marine environment through research and education.
Services:
We conduct research and offer assistance in various aspects of shellfish culture, marine environmental studies, and water quality control and education. Our strategic 2015 goals outline priority research projects. Most of our activities focus on publicly-funded research projects to evaluate the ecology, health and diseases of shellfish, including oysters, mussels and clams, on the U.S. west coast.
History:
The Pacific Shellfish Institute (PSI) was formed in late 1995 to develop and disseminate scientific and technical information of value to the general public, shellfish farmers, and public officials in connection with shellfish-related environmental, and animal/human health and safety issues.
PSI maintains an office and laboratory in Olympia, Washington, USA. We are a Section 501(c)(3) private nonprofit organization.
