Corporate Responsibility & Marine Conservation

We do not source, list, sell, or arrange orders for natural shells, coral, or products covered by the trade controls in Appendices I, II, or III of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES). This includes whole specimens and any parts, attached material, or finished products covered by those controls. We apply this policy even when a specific transaction could be permitted by law.

Our exclusions include all giant clams (Tridacnidae spp.), the horned helmet (Cassis cornuta), and natural red coral (family Coralliidae). We also exclude shells, coral, and products containing them if their collection, purchase, sale, import, or export is prohibited by applicable law.

When a species or source is unclear

If we cannot confirm a product’s species or source well enough to apply this policy or check the relevant trade rules, we pause quotes, sales, and shipments for that item until we have the information we need.

How you can help protect marine wildlife

Please leave live animals and occupied shells where you find them. Follow local collection rules, including rules for empty shells, and avoid collecting, buying, or trading shells or coral from protected or threatened marine species.
