CITES Oversight

---

 At CRC, we are committed to upholding the highest standards of ethical and legal practices in coral cultivation. To demonstrate our dedication to environmental conservation, our project undergoes a thorough approval and certification process with the Cambodian CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) management authority. CITES plays a pivotal role in regulating and monitoring the international trade of endangered and vulnerable species, including corals. For our coral commercial cultivation and export endeavors, CITES serves as a critical framework that ensures compliance with ethical and legal standards.

CITES functions by categorizing species into three appendices based on the degree of protection they require. For corals, which are susceptible to over-exploitation, the convention sets guidelines and permits that govern their international trade.

Our project undergoes meticulous scrutiny by the Cambodian CITES management authority, ensuring that every aspect of our coral cultivation aligns with international regulations and national conservation policies. This approval process involves detailed assessments of our cultivation methods, sustainability practices, and adherence to ethical trade standards.

Upon successful approval and review, CRC proudly receives export permits from the Cambodian CITES management authority, highlighting our commitment to sustainable commerce. This certification serves as a testament to our dedication to preserving coral ecosystems and conducting business in an environmentally responsible manner.

We believe in transparency and accountability at every stage of our operations. By obtaining certification from the Cambodian CITES management authority, we demonstrate our willingness to be held to the highest standards of conservation and sustainable business practices.
