The government distributed 15 thousand pearl shell seeds with Pinctada Maxima type. The decline in the number of mother-of-pearls in nature triggered the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (CTF) to take conservation measures.

"Exploitative fishing using environmentally destructive materials causes the presence of mother of pearls in nature to be very rare," Slamet said at the CTF office in Jakarta on Wednesday (26/7).
