Despite the poor results of the first attempts, pearl cultivation<\/strong> is a rich and thriving business that produces every year a big revenue. Unfortunately, for this reason, it has been amplyfied causing a savage colture<\/strong> which has yet begun to compromise the growth<\/strong> of the precious oysters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In 1994, to obviate to this limitless exploitation and create a free oasis of proliferation, Tiffany & Co. Foundation, along with the Vermont University<\/a> and in partnership with COBI<\/a>, has created the Sustainable Pearls<\/a> project to establish a controlled cultivation<\/strong> and to preserve the marine fauna<\/strong> in the Pacific areas.<\/p>\n

The situation was terrible, a decimated population with only 88 Pinctada mazatlantica<\/strong> and 54 Pteria Sterna<\/strong>, because of the rarity of these types of pearls that caused a brutal ravage.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the cages<\/strong> used in this project, results didn’t wait to come, becoming not only a good instrument to protect the oysters but also a great way to help them reproduct<\/strong> in an easier way: the neighborhood<\/strong> is essential and this element fails in nature, making them survive only 10 egg cells out of 1 milion<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The data collect in the latest years have showed positive results even for the surrounding marine fauna that considerably grew thanks to the cages and the seaweeds<\/strong> which grew on them, attracting many invertebrats and fish<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Albeit the frequent attempts of illegal fishing in this regenerated areas, this project goes on<\/strong> involving more and more pearl businesses all around the world in order to promote a responsible cultivation<\/strong> along with great environmental and socio-economical benefits<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
