The Green Island: Preparing the Coral Reefs (part 3 - end)


Dear Greensters,

This is how the preparation before we planted the coral reefs. We have to provide substrates first. Substrates are a kind of media to grow the coral reefs. The materials are simple, such as: sand, cement, tile grout and small PVC pipes which you install in a concrete. It take a couple of hours to make the substrates dry. Then, we write our names on a piece of water-resistant paper with a permanent marker to stick into a piece of coral inside the substrate. Then, it's ready to be planted under the sea in the depth of 5 to 10 meters.

Coral reefs are homes for sea creatures. So, let's plant more and make our ocean greener and healthier.
