The Alain Michel Hatchery serves as Oceanpick’s primary hatchery and early life-stage production facility. The site comprises broodstock, live feed, larval rearing, and nursery units that collectively support the production of high-quality juvenile fish for transfer to offshore cage farms.
Oceanpick has developed a proposal to restore approximately 4 hectares of mangrove forest, which is currently under review by the Department of Forestry, Sri Lanka. The project aims to enhance coastal biodiversity, improve shoreline protection, and contribute to blue carbon sequestration.
The Cod Bay facility serves as Oceanpick’s main operational hub, supporting offshore farm management, logistics coordination, and equipment storage. The site also works closely with local stakeholders to help maintain a plastic-free harbor environment in Cod Bay.
Powder Bay is an offshore sea cage farming site where pre-grow out phase fish are stocked. The sheltered bay environment provides suitable conditions for stable fish growth before transferring to deeper offshore sites.
Oceanpick has planted approximately 900 mangrove seedlings near Cat Cove Bay, Trincomalee as part of its mangrove restoration initiative. This project contributes to coastal ecosystem recovery, habitat creation, and long-term carbon sequestration.
As part of its sustainability and research initiatives, we conducted a pilot cultivation of Kappaphycus alvarezii, harvesting approximately 655 kg of seaweed. The project serves as an R&D effort to explore sustainable aquaculture diversification and potential community-based livelihood opportunities.
This offshore cage site is used for the final grow-out stage. The site allows efficient biomass management and helps optimize production across multiple farming locations.
Minden Rock Site 1 hosts offshore cages used for the mid phase grow-out of fish. The deeper water conditions and stronger currents provide improved water exchange, supporting optimal fish growth and health.
Nursery 2 is a new nursery facility currently under development in Kappalthurei. The site is intended to expand our juvenile fish production capacity while supporting employment and development opportunities within nearby coastal communities.
We plan to establish a mangrove nursery capable of producing approximately 10,000 mangrove seedlings. These seedlings will support future mangrove restoration initiatives and help strengthen coastal ecosystem conservation efforts in the Trincomalee region.
Across Sri Lanka’s coastline and inland communities, Oceanpick’s sustainability efforts come to life through meaningful, action-driven projects. From coastal restoration to responsible aquaculture practices, each initiative on this map represents our commitment to preserving ecosystems, supporting local livelihoods, and driving long-term environmental progress. Together, these projects form the foundation of a more resilient and sustainable future for our oceans.
