Ecological responsibility

In addition to the harm to the environment, the anemones degrade pearl quality and pose a hazard to divers. In 1996 my father took the anemone issue brought on by the pressure hoses to the attention of the media. In 2006 at the height of the problem, I had a petition signed by almost half the population of Ahe that banned the hoses once and for all. When oysters grow naturally on the sea floor they are cleaned by the nibbling of fish. We rely exclusively on this free source of labor to clean our oysters; placing them in carefully selected zones where the right varieties of fish keep them clean to the benefit of all. This is just one example of the many ways Kamoka farms pearls in harmony with the environment.
