In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), pearl divers risked death by drowning and shark attacks, in addition to damaged eardrums, to dive for oysters in the Persian Gulf. The practice was once the major source of income for the majority of inhabitants in the UAE, who would use their share of the proceeds from the pearls to squeak out a living and provide for their families.

could you mark brainy pls???
