Scholars often discuss marine commodities within the framework of man-made declension; indeed there are several examples in this volume. This article expands the scope of marine environmental history into a new area, the Persian/Arabian Gulf, and into a commodity that is often ignored, pearls. The pearl industry in the southern Persian/Arabian Gulf provides an example of exploitation that declined for reasons other than overfishing, habitat destruction, or industrial exploitation. Specific decisions undertaken during the last pearl boom, 1870–1930, ensured the sustained existence of this resource
