Amorn Phuket’s pearl farm is dedicated to conserving the ecosystem where we farm the finest pearls. Our sustainable pearl farming practices demonstrate our commitment to fulfilling our responsibility to the environment and the communities we serve.
Environmental Impact of Traditional Pearl Farming
When done properly and consciously, pearl farming does not harm the environment. In contrast, farming pearl oysters benefits the immediate ecosystem since oysters act as water filters, making water quality cleaner. Fish also consume the scrap found on oyster shells, which helps promote a diverse marine life. Amorn Phuket Pearl has implemented innovative strategies cultivated throughout the decades to ensure our pearl farm coexists with nature and supports and enriches it.
Sustainable Pearl Farming Practices
At Amorn Phuket Pearl Farm, we have taken a different approach, which includes several key practices:
Creation of Artificial Reefs
We construct artificial reefs as part of our Corporate Social Responsibility Program to help maintain the natural balance of the ecosystem. These reefs promote biodiversity and aid the recovery of coral populations and marine life affected by global and local stresses.
Water Quality Management
Maintaining pristine water conditions is essential for healthy pearls and a thriving marine environment. For this reason, we continuously monitor and manage water quality to prevent any adverse impacts from our farming activities. We keep a close eye on the density of our oysters to avoid overcrowding. For example, our oyster cages are designed not only for pearl cultivation but also for environmental monitoring. They house red corals, which thrive only in clean water conditions, serving as a natural barometer for the health of our waters.
Cultivating Biodiversity
We integrate aquaculture into our operations by raising food fish like groupers within our pearl farming structures. This practice helps preserve the area’s ecological balance, supporting a diverse range of marine life alongside our pearl cultivation efforts.
Responsible Pearl Harvesting
Our pearl harvesting techniques are designed to be as non-invasive as possible, ensuring the health and longevity of our oysters. By carefully managing the extraction process, we help sustain oyster populations and ensure continuous production without depleting natural resources.
