One of the seafood supply partners supporting this program operates from Gouville-sur-Mer on the Normandy coast (Manche, France), a fishing region located along the English Channel.

This locality is known for its strong shellfish and crustacean fisheries, particularly for:

• Coquille Saint-Jacques from the Channel
• Normandy oysters
• blue lobster (Homarus gammarus)
• crab and spider crab fisheries

Products sourced from this Normandy region may be supplied through BeeBridge’s export structure depending on seasonal availability and landing conditions.

BeeBridge coordinates seafood sourcing from established processors and fishing networks operating along the Normandy coast and the wider French Atlantic coastline.

These suppliers operate from fishing ports and processing facilities located across Normandy and the French Atlantic region, handling a wide range of seafood species harvested from European waters and processed according to the needs of professional seafood buyers.

Through BeeBridge’s export structure, these products can be supplied to international seafood importers through structured shipment programs ranging from pallet volumes to full 40‑foot refrigerated containers.

This program allows buyers to access European seafood species with flexible processing formats and consistent export logistics.
