About
coral
conservation
We have established three coral nurseries in Jamaica which will help to restore lost coral coverage
These coral nurseries contain fast growing corals known as Stag and Elk horn corals that act as habitat for fish and also can create barrier reefs to help protect shorelines from storm events and reduce coastal erosion.
In September 2016 Over 700 pieces of coral were out planted from the Boscobel Coral Nursery to the surrounding area with a 90% success rate.
