OysterGate ?

Drakes Bay Oyster Farm is part of the historic in-holdings in the Point Reyes National Seashore; and leases for a handful or farms there are managed by the Department of the Interior.
Point Reyes is truly a national treasure, worthy of preserving culturally and ecologically.  The Lunny family, when they bought the oyster company in 2005, took part in that preservation by cleaning up the existing operation and maintaining sustainable environmental conditions there.  On their Drakes Bay Family Farms website, they discuss the area's history and ecology, their practices, and the challenges they face.  Essentially, everything I look for when I research a food supplier.

Now the Lunnys, and everyone who enjoys their oysters, are in jeopardy of losing this resource, a vital part of Marin's local food movement.  The San Francisco Chronicle provided a fair and balanced summary of the situation in May of 2009.  Sadly, the situation has not been resolved, despite a public support campaign and the involvement of California US senators.

More recently, supporters pooled funds to create a 4+ minute video, called Oystergate.  If you can get past the presentation style (feels like a parody of a 60 Minutes expose), it's an easy way to absorb the history of the conflict between the Lunnys and the Department of Interior.
