Sustainable pearl farming

Pearl farming can destruct natural pearl oyster beds & ecosystems, but if done the right way it can have the opposite effect. On a French Polynesian island 300 miles Northeast of Tahiti this company shows how a sustainable pearl farming can improve local water & sea life, making the ecosystem better than it was when they started their business.   Brash and her family behind Kamoka Pearls uses solar and wind technologies to power all electricity used on their farm.  They clean oysters naturally, using fish instead of hoses to clean the shells. Their care for the local water has resulted in an increase in the health and number of fish species in the ocean waters where Kamoka Farm pearls are cultivated. – It surrounds us. It feeds us. It provides us our livelihood and constantly fills us with a state of wonder. Every day, we’re driven by a reality that, sadly, not many humans ever consider—we’re not the only ones who rely on our ocean to survive. Said Brash. No matter what we do, the key to sustainability is to do it with respect for nature, and with natures best in our interest. Inspiring work by Kamoka Farm!
