THE PROJECT
To fight our coral reef extinction
To fight our coral reef extinction, we are in a race for succesful propagation of “resistant” coral species, but the clock is ticking. For the first year, we are proud to have planted in excess of 3000 coral nubbins on 45 frames on 6 sites around the island, but this is still far away from our goal.

A grassroots initiative that really is making a difference to the environment around them. They don't talk, make lots of fancy plans, they just do it. Instead of wasting money on senseless administration they put all their efforts on what is the most important objective, saving the coral reefs. To be a small part of that contribution is an honour and a privilege.
Comme à tout ami, on lui doit une relation réflexive en l'écoutant vivre pour l'aider, peut-être à s'adapter au temps long, dont l’activité humaine cannibale. Je suis tombé en amitié avec Rodrigues il y a plus de 10 ans et je lui dois des sensations inégalées. Je suis heureux de pouvoir apporter ma petite pierre au projet conduit par Jérôme et son équipe dont l'ambition est si respectable.
To contribute to Bluer Ocean Project is a way for us to "do something" and to pay our respects to the Ocean, key factor for the future of our Planet.
