Coral Conservation with Harrow International School (part 2)

A couple of days ago we had the guys and girls from Harrow International School here on the island. One of their scheduled activities was a day out on the sea, to explore the beauty of the Koh Chang reefs while snorkelling and for some even diving. Well done to the guys on girls who did their very first dives and thereby completed the PADI Discover Scuba Diver.
A very big thank you to all the students for their participation in a coral conservation project at Koh Wai.
Here we transplanted over 200 coral fragments (mostly staghorn) to a framework which was build by the students the previous day. Once the coral fragments were in place, the frames were then transported to a shallow sandy bottom along the shore of the island where they can grow in a protected environment.
DivingScool is planning more coral conservation programs over the next couple of months and we will certainly keep you posted on our initiatives.
For now, as allways...Happy Bubbles!
