CORAL RESTORATION FOUNDATION BONAIRE INSTALLS NEW CORAL
NURSERY
Kralendijk, Bonaire Wednesday, 7th of January 2015
The Coral Restoration Foundation (CRF) Bonaire is proud to announce that on December 10th a new coral nursery has
been installed on the island.
In total five new coral trees, all sponsored by the Tourism Corporation Bonaire and WWF, have been placed at shallow depths in
front of the Harbour Village Resort. The placing of the new coral trees was a unique
cooperation by the CRF Bonaire and CRF USA, with the help of the Bonaire Marine Park Manager Ramon de Leon and Great
Adventures Bonaire staff.

The new nursery will be maintained by Great Adventures Bonaire, officially a new CRF Bonaire Dive shop member, with a
capacity of producing approximately 500 Staghorn and Elkhorn corals on a yearly
basis. The newly harvested corals from this nursery will be transplanted to the degraded parts of the reef on Bonaire.

The CRF Bonaire project started as an idea by Buddy Dive Resort Bonaire and the Coral Restoration Foundation USA to achieve
the main and most important objective: preserve and restore the reefs on
Bonaire. Today the CRF Bonaire has transplanted 3000 corals to five different restoration sites on the Island with a total nursery
capacity of more than 7000 corals.
The CRF Bonaire strongly believes that community involvement is the key to the overall success of the project. The foundation
hopes that soon more dive shops will join forces with Buddy Dive Resort Bonaire and Great Adventures Bonaire to accomplish
their objectives.
