THE CORAL GARDENERS

Local Tahitian youth in Moorea have seen the coral in the lagoon & on the reef start to bleach over the last few years and they've decided to take action.

 They've banded together to form a NGO group called 'The Coral Gardeners' which has 2 goals.  

The first goal is to raise awareness & hopefully change the mindset of people around the world.  They've done this through going to school classrooms,  holding conferences and bringing awareness to the issues online.

The second goal is coral restoration which is where the coral gardening comes in.  Check out the video above to see how they get it done.
