With aquaculture becoming increasingly technical, it’s easy to forget that many of its early pioneers started out in decidedly more makeshift and daring circumstances. This spirit of adventure is epitomised by Kamoka pearl farm, which was established on a remote Polynesian atoll by a Frenchman who had first arrived having crossed the Pacific in a homemade wooden yacht. Now run by his offspring, the faraway farm is still largely self-reliant and it’s good to see that the new generation is successfully trialling a raft of environmentally-positive farming techniques.
