CORAL PROPAGATION
Concerned about protecting the environment, we have been involved in an exciting project since September 2019: coral propagation, or how to become a coral gardener with the Ocean Quest Global organizations.
This adventure leads us to train anyone who wants to plant coral using a natural method and a simple, unique process. Creating a coral nursery represents a real initiative that everyone can take to preserve coral reefs.

OceanQuest Global
Founded in Malaysia in 2010 by Anuar Abdullah, a diver, artist and oceanographer, Ocean Quest Global is an environmental organization active in 7 countries across Southeast Asia and the Indian Ocean. Anuar has spent most of his life studying Malaysian corals and reefs, their behaviors and life cycles, in order to conduct his own research.
After years of observation and investigation, the organization was able to create its own techniques, methodologies and materials for coral reef rehabilitation, based on the idea that coral can be restored on a large scale, in a natural and non-invasive way.
Indeed, there are several coral propagation methods around the world, many of which use questionable media, including metal grids, PVC pipes, leather, and even electrolysis.
