Vital work for a vital cause. 🌊 We are so impressed by the dedication of everyone involved in this coral restoration project. Turning a degraded reef into a place of growth is such a beautiful and significant achievement for our marine world. 🪸 Proud to see this progress!
🪸600 coral fragments planted in partnership between The Coral Planters , SSI Scuba Schools International and SSI Blue Oceans in the heart of the Java Sea.🪸 From collection to planting. Every fragment harvested by hand from healthy colonies, carefully attached to structures, and placed on a degraded reef. Before: a bare seafloor. After: the beginning of a reef. This is what a restoration zone looks like when it comes to life! 👀 Watch our corals grow online: 1. Go to: https://lnkd.in/eFFvdy6Z 2. In the search bar, type Blue Oceans or SSI 3. The corals will appear across 12 separate reef structures : ING_021 ; ING_022 ; ING_023 ; ING_024 ; ING_025 ; ING_026 ; ING_027 ; ING_028 ; ING_029 ; ING_030 ; ING_034 ; ING_035 Each structure has its own reef number and can be viewed individually on the map and in the project gallery. The coral pictures will be uploaded every 6 months so that everyone can track coral health and growth over the years.🪸 📍 Karimunjawa, Java Sea, Indonesia #thecoralplanters #ssiblueoceans #blueoceansprogram #coralrestoration #coralplanting #oceanconservation
