Dockyards To Dining Table, Chatham Mussel Project.

Chatham Mussel Project aims to rejuvenate Chatham by promoting healthy food habits and sustainable practices, such as zero-input mussel farming, creating a communal space for education and collaboration. Integrating features like community kitchens, cooking schools, and markets will foster connection and shared knowledge, while partnering with local initiatives like the Rochester oyster and floating fishery will bridge divides and promote community cohesion. Through these efforts, I aspire to offer a new narrative of pride and progress, revitalising Chatham’s social and physical landscape.
