Coral Rehabilitation Project at Vivanta by Taj Coral Reef, Maldives
Vivanta by Taj Coral Reef Resort and the Blue In Maldives Diving & Sailing are working together in September 2011 for a second Coral Rehabilitation Project to support, to monitor and to sustain the preservation of Maldivian coral reefs. We believe we owe this to the beauty that Maldivian ecosystem is giving to us! The project promotes coral fragment settlement and growth by applying asexual propagation methods which are cost effective to a degraded reef by impacts due to human interactions. Benefits of participating in such a project are: • Essential for tourism and fisheries • Providing sea defenses for low-laying islands and beach erosion • Preserving coral reefs for future generations • Creating awareness among local communities and visiting guests • Active involvement is educational and fun • Showing corporate responsibility concern towards the marine environment • Creating attraction for the clientele of the resort • Reducing carbon footprint emissions To enhance this effect we will be inviting the guests to make a donation to “adopt a coral” and provide an underwater view of the adopted coral through the Web. The client will watch from home how their coral is growing. We are certain that the clients will be happy to participate in this endeavor.
