Hi Jones,

You probably have an Indonesian Chamber of Commerce representation somewhere where you live and it is probably a good idea to inquire there. Since the Indonesian pearl industry is still in its development stage, you are more likely to find corresponding internships there than in more developed ventures that are likely to prefer keeping their operations as tightly protected against industrial espionage as possible.

You may also contact the University of Jakarta for already ongoing academic projects in this field that may suit your needs. This route will also greatly help with funding, accommodations, health insurance etc.. Ricardo Cunha from the University of Sao Paulo may also be interested in some studies of this sort concerning his pearl farm project in Brazil.
