With the end of 2025 marking five years of outplanting nursery-grown coral colonies under the regional United Nations Development Programme Coral Reef Restoration project, the Marine Conservation Society ¾ÞÈéÎÞÂë has reached a significant milestone as it enters the project’s final year.
To date, 18,101 nursery-grown coral colonies have been outplanted across five restoration sites. The majority of restoration work has taken place within the Ste Anne Marine ¾ÞÈéÎÞÂë Park (SAMNP), where 16,678 coral colonies have been outplanted across four restoration sites, restoring approximately 4,280 square metres of reef habitat.
