NZ Sourced Baby Paua Shells
Disclaimer:
The Baby Pua Shells are bought through a NZ based company called Lumea. Then Uni Designs covers them in resin for protection and creates earings out of them.
New Zealand PΔua Shell information:
Commercially accredited free-divers carefully measure and loosen the shells from rocks at depths of 1 - 10 metres. Divers wear data loggers to record their area of harvest, and quantities brought to shore are limited by the Total Allowable Commercial Catch (TACC) set by the Ministry of Primary Industries. This quota is updated annually with guidance from industry research groups to ensure sustainability.
