Abstract

Pearl culture not only presents opportunities for foreign exchange earnings but also economic advancement of coastal communities. The Guimaras Compressor, Operators and Divers Multipurpose Cooperative now experiences this. The group, headed by Noel Infante of Sabang Sibunag in the island of Guimaras, used to fish and culture lobster for their main source of income. But three years ago, they came across some pearl oysters in their waters and found irregular pearls in some. This prompted them to approach the Department of Science and Technology (DOST) and request for pearl culture training.
