Morocco has a blossoming oyster industry - and Oualidia , on the west coast , is very proud of its premier export.

The wetland reserve is home to seven oyster farms, plus thousands of birds.

It is recognised as a site of international importance by the intergovernmental Ramsar Convention on Wetlands .

The lagoon-side La Sultana Oualidia is a haven for oysters, farmers, birds and anyone lucky enough to find it.

With the absence of a boat's motor, there’s nothing to drown out the roar of the sea.

The waves below are huge; frothy and angry-looking, a direct contrast to the lagoon behind.
