The Coral Nursery at Milaidhoo Island Maldives
Today our resident marine biologist, checked in on our coral nursery to see how the corals are doing. We’ve currently got 12 frames in the water in two different locations to see which areas are a better new home for our corals.
We’re very happy to see that even after only one month there are encouraging signs of growth.
While ‘planting’ corals is part of our ongoing commitment to the environment, we very much welcome support from our guests as well. If you’d like to leave a permanent reminder of your stay at Milaidhoo Island Maldives, you’re welcome to sponsor your own frame and can even help choose the coral and ‘plant’ it with our marine biologist.
