- Love Grows Beautiful Things: A Petite Anse Reef Restoration Project
- Donate to the restoration of a rescued coral fragment in this interactive and educational session. Begin by attaching your coral to a solid steel surface before heading into our Coral Nursery, just off the shore of Petite Anse bay. As your coral grows bigger and stronger, our Marine Educator will keep in touch to share the progress with you. The Petite Anse Reef Restoration Project – an innovative approach to coral reef restoration – launched in 2015 and was born of a desire to return the Petite Anse reef to the thriving ecosystem that it once was. Through this project, we aim to restore 10,000 square metres (107, 600 square feet) of limestone reef through the transplantation of 16,000 coral reef fragments. Couple’s Experience: EUR 180 per couple (2 hours) Sponsor 1 metre: EUR 140 donation Sponsor 2 metres: EUR 200 donation
- Promise to the Reef
- Coral reefs are vital ecosystems that are key – not only to healthy oceans but a healthy planet. During this activity, learn more about coral reefs: what they are, why they are important, what threatens them and – most crucial – what we can all do to help save them. Choose a prearranged promise and have a polaroid taken while holding that promise to be added to our String of Fame. As a thank you, you’ll receive a keepsake of the activity made of sea glass, sustainably sourced from Petite Anse. EUR 15 donation
