“In my professional opinion, pearl farming is the most environmentally-friendly marine resource industry that I've encountered in sixteen years' experience in marine conservation. This is particularly true in the case of Atlas South Sea Pearl, which sets a very high standard for corporate responsibility both with respect to the environment and the welfare of the indigenous communities in proximity to their operations. In our conservation program in Raja Ampat, Papua, Atlas South Sea Pearl has been a trusted and exceedingly helpful conservation partner and has provided invaluable in-kind support to activities ranging from patrols to conservation research to environmental education for local school children.”
