The government of Prince Edward Island (P.E.I.), Canada, is offering up to $3 million to assist fishers, growers, and processors in the oyster industry who have faced substantial losses due to the diseases MSX (multinucleate sphere unknown) and Dermo (Perkinsosis). The Oyster Industry Relief Program will specifically cover interest costs on loans for those who have experienced losses of at least 30%. In addition, the government is launching the Oyster Relief Wage Assistance Program with a budget of $1.46 million to help offset payroll costs associated with sorting and handling requirements. These initiatives aim to reduce financial strain on businesses and facilitate adaptation while longer-term solutions are developed. Since the discovery of MSX in July 2024 and Dermo in July 2025, the P.E.I. government has invested over $12 million in support of the oyster industry, which includes previous programs like the Oyster Fishers Training Fund and the Oyster Growers Income Stabilization Program. The oyster industry in P.E.I. generated $27 million in revenue in 2024, with more than 250 active fishers and 300 growers in the province.
