“In these dark times, we need a light coming down and you guys are going to provide that light, that ray of hope.” - Dr. Austin Bowden-Kerby, reef restoration pioneer.
Back in 2019, we started to identify and propagate super corals with the help of Dr. Austin to create a more resilient reef. Almost 2 years later, that hope has been delivered. The micro-fragments from our first super coral nursery have come full circle!
Our team transplanted them onto degraded areas of the reef to bolster their chances of survival so they can cope with what the future holds. From there, the super corals can keep on growing onto the reef and spread on their own.
