Autore is thrilled to announce their collaboration with Willie Creek Pearls in constructing a commercial hatchery located at Willie Creek on the pristine coastline of Broome, Western Australia.<\/p>\n
For the past 6 years, Autore\u2019s hatchery in Western Australia has been located at Beagle Bay, where the pearling company implemented their modern aquaculture techniques and specialised practices which were developed through extensive scientific research and development. Autore\u2019s geographical decision to re-locate the Beagle Bay hatchery was the systematic choice enabling easier accessibility due to the Willie Creek site\u2019s close proximity to Broome.<\/p>\n
\u201cWillie Creek was an appropriate choice for the re-location of the hatchery due to Autore\u2019s great, long standing relationship with the company and the centrality of the site. We have 4 marine biologist\u2019s at the site working to improve pearl quality, and we are looking forward to seeing the great results that are expected out of this project\u201d Rosario Autore, CEO of The Autore Group.<\/p>\n
The construction has been led by Willie Creek, whilst Autore has led the design, technology and management of the hatchery as a result of the 20 year expertise in advanced hatchery operation. Autore has been at the forefront of scientific research to spawn and rear juvenile Pinctada Maxima Oysters, native to Australia and Indonesia, and currently owns and operates 4 hatchery operations servicing the 7 Autore pearl farms in both countries respectively.<\/p>\n
The 5 year agreement with Willie Creek will see benefits for both companies with Autore using the state of the art facility to implement the 10 year scientific research of the Pinctada Maxima Oyster, whilst enhancing Willie Creek\u2019s educational tours on the magic of pearl farming. <\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to the benefits that the hatchery will deliver to our commercial pearling operation, through the supply of quality virgin shell for seeding with known origin and age, it\u2019s also going to be an extremely interesting and important addition to our Pearl Farm tour\u201d Paul Birch, Willie Creek\u2019s Pearling Master and General Manager of Operations.<\/p>\n
This joint project between Autore and Willie Creek, which has now reached completion, will provide commercial stability for the pearling industry, producing high quality Pinctada Maxima Oysters on a commercial level.<\/p>\n

For more information:<\/strong> The Willie Creek story is truly a Western Australian story that began over 27 years ago in Tincurrin, East of Narrogin where Valda and Don Banfield farmed sheep, grew wheat and raised a family.<\/p>\n It\u2019s been a long and sometimes tortuous journey that today is still centred around farming \u2013 but farming of a different kind – at sea leases at Willie Creek and additionally 10 nautical miles north of Willie Creek, where the tides, water temperatures and nutrients contribute to the growth of the world\u2019s most revered pearls \u2013Australian South Sea Cultured Pearls.<\/p>\n Willie Creek offers visitors to Broome a range of tourism, retail and hospitality experiences. After a tour with Willie Creek, they have a new insight into Broome, the history of pearls and pearling and how pearls are grown, harvested, graded and sold. A meal at The Zookeepers Store, Galley or Harvest gives further insight into Broome as well as enhancing the Kimberley experience.<\/p>\n Willie Creek Pearls tours build on the \u2018shell to showroom\u2019 concept and through the combination of the experiences they offer, provide a complete pearl experience. <\/p>\n For more information: Autore is thrilled to announce their collaboration with Willie Creek Pearls in constructing a commercial hatchery located at Willie Creek on the pristine coastline of Broome, Western Australia.
