Join one of Conflict Islands Conservation Rangers and biologist on their mission to save the coral reefs of the atoll. You will be helping them plant and grow corals in our specially designed underwater coral nurseries, and have hands on experience planting your own coral fragment. Our biologist will hep you learn all about corals in general and the threats we are facing and why we are trying to save them.
Make sure to be prepared to get involved with our Rangers as they collect data to track the coral fragments planted. If you want to get updates on the corals growth and survival that you have planted; you can adopt that coral and follow along its journey to being replanted out into the coral reefs of the Conflict Islands to help preserve the species that make this location one of the best in the world.
Our nurseries, being in only 4 to 5 meters of water and inside our sheltered lagoons makes this suitable for all levels of snorkelers. The more confident snorkeler will be asked to further assist our rangers in attaching the coral fragment ropes to the nursery once you have adopted and attached your fragments.
If you would like to adopt a coral fragment, please make sure to let the rangers know and they will be able to let you know how you can adopt.
