Price Aquaristics - Maldives Action

22.02.2016

A very interesting article on rebuilding destroyed reef sections after construction work in the Maldives. Thank you Cornelia and Sandra for this :-)

After a long time of planning, the time finally came at the end of last year.

A team of seawater specialists from the Stralsund Marine Aquarium flew to the Maldives. The goal was the reconstruction of destroyed reef sections after construction work. Local staff (diving schools) were trained here.

Here 4 days each were spent on the islands Jumeira Vittaveli, Centara Grand and Centara Ras Fushi. The staff were taught coral fragmentation and how to demonstrate different ways of underwater attachment to different substrates. Our 2-component adhesive Easy-Glue purple was used for the smaller stony coral plants.

This was used to establish many offshoots in the newly created 'coral nurseries'. It was a great pleasure for us to support this great project. Enclosed are some great pictures.

Maybe some of our readers will come to the Maldives and have a look at the new coral splendour underwater. We will keep everyone else up to date on how it develops. The project will be updated 1-2 times a year and the development will be documented.

Of course there are also photos :-)
