KOH PHI PHI: CORAL NURSERY RECOVERY
February 12-16, 2023
Divers cleaned coral nurseries in order to help stimulate the effective growth of coral reefs. Large toothbrushes were used to clear the nurseries of debris or plastic pollution
OUR TEAM
NURSERY RECOVERY
Typically, in fish-abundant reefs, parrotfish will graze on algae growing on corals and eat invertebrates that threaten to smother the growth of the young polyps. Hence, it is important to help upkeep the nurseries by brushing away the overgrowth of algae and encrusting organisms.
EDUCATION
Volunteers immersed themselves in an educational experience at the Phi Phi Marine Discovery Centre. Marine Biologists taught students a variety of issues, including bycatch, the importance of reef restoration and ways they can be effective environmental stewards
