UNDERWATER GARDEN
Zen Harmony Diving™ and Zen Dive Resorts are creating the “Underwater Garden” – artificial reef project, with the idea of recovering some damaged inflicted to the corals. You may plant your own coral and get monthly updates on its growth rate, supported with photos.
Thriving reefs around the Indonesia are some of the oldest in the world. In fact, Indonesia is part of the famous Coral Triangle, “a global centre of marine biodiversity, is a 6 million km2 area spanning Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste and the Solomon Islands” (WWF). Often called rainforests of the sea, shallow coral reefs form some of the most diverse ecosystems on Earth. They occupy less than 0.1% of the world’s ocean surface, about half the area of France, yet they provide a home for at least 25% of all marine species. However, reefs are getting systematically damaged as a result of diverse factors, and as usual human beings are the one inducing the major risk. Our Underwater Garden project gives us the opportunity to give back to the reefs and help counteract some of the damage we’ve caused.
