For years industrial sized pearl farms used pressure washing techniques in the lagoon to clean their oysters. This would lead to the mass spread of disease and harmful species throughout the lagoon. Oysters became increasingly sick and unable to produce quality pearls. This inhibited small pearl farms to be able to produce enough just to get by. So we got together with every other small pearl farm on our atoll and came to a mutual agreement that anyone who uses these pressure washing techniques in the lagoon is not welcome. Since then we’ve developed a new cleaning system. Instead of pressure washing, we bring our oysters into shallow waters to allow reef fish to clean them for us. This provides an abundance of food causing marine life populations to bloom. Fish have become so abundant around farms that use this technique that they spread out throughout other parts of the lagoon helping fishermen who need to feed their families not come home empty handed. #kamoka #kamokapearl

Farming pearls on one of the most remote places on Earth means a lack of modern conveniences. There are no supermarkets, no hospitals, everything is DIY. We collect our own rain water, use solar for electricity, and grow/hunt most of our own food. On the pearl farming side we’ve developed a symbiotic relationship with fish. Every few months we bring our oysters from the deep into shallow waters to get cleaned by reef fish. This provides an abundance of food causing local marine life populations to surge. #kamoka #kamokapearl
