Revival of Pearling in Bahrain

Bahrain has long been synonymous with pearls, with its shallow waters and rich oyster beds forming the backbone of the island's economy for thousands of years. The Gulf nation's pearling heritage is not just a chapter in its history—it's a vital strand of its cultural DNA, as emphasized by Mohamed Alslaise, a pearl diver and field researcher for Bahrain Institute for Pearls and Gemstones, DANAT.
