We will meet at 9am at Nuansa Pulau.

We'll start with a presentation of what happened in Ped, where boat anchors and seaweed farming destroyed the reefs. Finally the fishermen community came together with Ocean Gardener to start replanting corals.

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 Ocean Gardener coral nursery. With your snorkel and fins, we'll 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 marine biologist to fragment a coral cutting from a donor colony and attach it to a rope so the coral has something to anchor to continuing growing. The coral ropes 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.
