CoralGardening at Duikvaker

It was that time once again, at the beginning of February we were invited to present ourselves at the largest Diving exhibition in the Netherlands: Duikvaker.

With a trusty team of enthusiastic volunteers, we managed to educate countless visitors about the CoralGardening vision, and the three pillars thereof; Educate, Protect, and Restore. There was once gain a well attended workshop about CoralGardening, where in addition to children, many parents were creating artificial reefs out of clay! We received multiple entries for a new slogan in addition to ideas for a new t-shirt, and, most importantly, we welcomed more than 60 new members into our CoralCommunity!

The project on Bangka Island attracted a great deal of interest (more about this in the coming newsletter), both from possible volunteers and from divers who would like to take a course on coral reefs (particularly regarding restoration). And as if that was not enough, Veran gave a well attended presentation highlighting the work of CoralGardening during both days!

Veran talks about coral reefs and the importance of a healthy ecosystem.

As a result of the many enthusiastic meetings, a goodly number of people have decided to support CoralGardening on a monthly basis. You can also contribute: be our Buddy and donate a monthly amount for a healthy ocean, for all of us, and especially for future generations!
