Quality Assurance

Cairns Marine customers can purchase marinelife with confidence knowing that our hand caught specimens are free from the debilitating effects of sodium cyanide collecting techniques. Likewise, curators of public aquaria making important purchases on tight budgets can be assured of the clear chain of custody and guaranteed sustainability of Cairns Marine specimens. Our customers also benefit from an after sales help desk that draws on more than five decades of animal handling and freighting experience. Large or small, Cairns Marine takes the worry out of purchasing marine specimens for display.
