The brains behind ReefGen, based out of Riverhead, New York, have a great conservation project in the works over at www.indiegogo.com. St. Martin has long been neglected in the conservation and rebuild department when it comes to coral reefs. If you’d like to be a part of this unique project, as well as score some sweet loot for participating, check out their page for further info.
From Justin Grabel of Reefgen, “We are a little bit different than other current restoration efforts in the Caribbean in that we intend to work mostly with the underserved LPS species. The large scale commercial farming techniques we use at ReefGen will allow us to grow these species at level that makes restoration practical. We will also work with Acropora and plan to coordinate with other Acropora restoration outfits in the future. We plan on recreating diverse coral reefs, much like ones that existed in the early half of the last century.”
Sounds like a worthwhile, promising project. Home décor, autographed books, live corals, and beautiful sculptures are amongst the available rewards for your donation. I implore you to take a few moments to further educate yourself on the project, they have our full support.… More:
