THE CORAL PLANTING PROCESS

First we harvest from the nurseries.

First we harvest the coral fragments from mother colonies at our shallow coral nurseries. We select common hardy coral species based on our different project needs. We can access the coral nurseries by snorkeling so we don’t use a boat or any fuel to collect corals and maintain coral nurseries.

We prepare the coral ropes on land.

The coral fragments are brought back to the land where we start adding them to natural coral rope. By doing this work on land we can plant large numbers of corals at once and we plant an average of 500-1000 corals per planting session. The kids also love looking for little crabs inside the coral branches.

Now the corals have a new home!

Ropes are 2m long 6 feet, and have 10 corals. We plant in batches of 200 which cover an area of 30 square meters, or 325 square feet. We use all-natural cotton rope and hardwood that is resistant to rotting in the water. One team works to pound in the wooden stakes other team strings the coral ropes.

PhilosophY

Coral and education is our passion. Our restoration plans are based on 25 years hands on experience working with Indonesian coastal communities. We provide coastal community with knowledge to protect and feed themselves out of their reef.

As the first commercial coral farm in Indonesia, the target has always been to diversify and increase the offer of corals. Thus giving us a tremendous experience in all different coral reef habitat, with all the different genus of corals. 

While other restoration efforts only concentrated in a couple genus. Until now we are still the only farm producing certain types of corals such as soft corals, which a very important components of certain reef habitat, and a key player in reef restoration efforts
