Coral reefs cover a mere 0.2% of the ocean floor, but are home to about a quarter of the world’s marine life! A staggering 75% of these crucial ecosystems are severely threatened – predicted to be functionally extinct across the world by 2050 if current trends don’t change, and fast!
This #worldreefawarenessday the Reef Rescuers show you what it takes to rehabilitate a reef. Located within the MPA of Cousin Island Special Reserve the team has constructed 4 mid-water nurseries with over 8000 corals of 2 genera – Acropora and Pocillopora – in culture. The goal of this project, funded by the Adaptation Fund through the UNDP and the Government of Seychelles, is to have 1 hectare of the reef restored by 2026.
