You will start first with a presentation to give you a background on the coral reefs and their importance to help you understand the corals better when you see them in person during the snorkel part of the tour.

You will learn about coral biology, the shapes they can form, Hard vs Soft Corals and the threats coral reefs face today. We will then cover coral reproduction and how coral farming and restoration works.

We will then gear up and snorkel the nursery. We will collect your snorkel and fins and head out to the coral nursery. Your guide will point out specific corals. All equipment is included, so you just show up ready to learn and explore! No boat needed - we will gear up on shore and swim to the reef during low tide. Perfect for beginners!

You will work with your local Indonesian marine biologist to fragment a coral cutting from a donor colony and attach it to a plug so the coral has something to anchor to continuing growing. Your plug will replaced back into the nursery. We will continue monitoring your colony and subsequently, when the colony is large enough, we will outplant them to restore the surrounding reefs.
