The escutcheon (shield) is supported by two Green sea turtles. The crest on top of the helm (helmet) is a conch shell, which represents the varied marine life of the country. Below the helm is the escutcheon itself, whose main charge is the ocean. Three Audouin’s gulls are above the ocean to represent Andany going to the future. The green arrow in the escutcheon means protection (over Andany, its citizens, and the environment). The country's motto, Latin: "Clavis est ad mare magnum" (The key to the Mediterranean), is shown on a white banner at the bottom of the escutcheon.
