ROV helps to deliver a more eco-friendly business solution

摘要

Seashells are the exoskeletons of mollusks such as snails, clams, oysters and many others. They have a critical role in coastal ecosystems such as providing nesting materials, a home or attachment surface for algae, sea grass, sponges, and a host of other microorganisms. Fish also use seashells to hide from predators while hermit crabs use them as temporary shelters. ScubaCom, Australia, has the only specimen seashell permit (EP0002) in South Australia (SA) which is closely managed by the SA Fisheries Department. Founder Steve Robinson says: "It is my aim to offer seashells to the world with a guarantee that all specimens have been responsibly collected ensuring species sustainability. We currently have a database of every seashell taken by us (with photos and unique number) and will be able to verify all shells sold by us. You will see this section slowly grow as this business moves forward."
