Explanation

Australia and Bahrain are the two places where natural pearl diving survived into modern times - Australia for South Sea pearls and Bahrain in the Persian Gulf. India's pearl fisheries declined centuries ago, China never had large-scale pearl hunting, Africa and South America are not known for it, and Spain's pearl fisheries in the Americas ended historically.
