Environmental Statement

All of the seashells and shell products supplied at buy the sea are all collected from a naturally sustainable resource and are either a by-product of local food gathering, or naturally available, such as flotsam brought in by the tide.

They are gathered and exported with the permission of the local fisheries authorities and (when required) with certification from CITIES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species).

We sell no endangered species and we continue to make every effort to monitor relevant data through trade information and conservation societies in order to ensure this continues to be the case.
