BACKGROUND
Reef Renewal Foundation Bonaire (RRFB) has been working since 2012 to restore the coral reefs of the island of Bonaire in the south Caribbean. To date, they have outplanted over 30,900 corals to reefs around the island and are maintaining 8 different permanent nurseries. Combined these nurseries can hold over 14,000 corals.
Through the support of local dive communities and volunteers, these coral nurseries are thriving. Husbandry activities and maintenance of nursery sites are critical to maximizing coral health and minimizing incidence of disease, predation and breakage.
RRFB has been a Network Member since 2018. They joined to be able to share their knowledge and skills with other communities around the world.
