Coral Reefs are a fascinating underwater ecosystem, complex and ancient habitats, over 500 million years old!
Often referred to as “rainforests of the sea,” they are a critical component of life in the ocean. Coral reef ecosystems are one of the most biodiverse in the world, inhabiting around 25% of all marine species, including sharks and sea turtles, crustaceans, and schooling fish.
Coral reefs are sensitive to water conditions, which affect their health. They are under threat from various factors, mostly derived by human activity. We have lost more than half of the world’s coral reefs in the last 30 years, and without immediate action, all shallow water coral reefs may vanish by the end of this century.
Understanding the importance of collaborative effort through education, Atlantis Dive Resorts teamed with three incredible NGOs (Non Governmental Organizations) to bring coral restoration to the heart and core of our activity- OUR DIVERS!
Join us on a fulfilling week at our Dumaguete resort, along with our incredible partners: Coral Restoration Foundation, The Living Planet Aquarium, and The Mead Foundation and help us build and maintain the largest coral nursery in Dauin.
