Stay for Good
We believe in travel with a purpose. Our Stay for Good programme invites you to experience the world authentically by visiting our pristine house reefs and joining our marine biologists in hands-on coral restoration.
Micro-Fragmentation
Coral micro-fragmentation is an innovative restoration technique that accelerates coral growth and reef recovery. By carefully taking small fragment just a few centimeters in size from healthy, mature colonies, corals are able to heal and grow much faster than larger pieces would. These fragments are then attached to nurseries or reef structures, where they fuse together to form new, resilient colonies in a fraction of the time it would take naturally. This method not only helps restore degraded reefs but also supports biodiversity and strengthens the ecosystem’s ability to withstand climate change and other stressors.

Mid-water Nursery
A mid-water coral nursery is a suspended structure designed to grow coral fragments in ideal conditions before replanting them on the reef. Positioned four to five meters below the surface, the nursery provides corals with steady water flow, abundant sunlight, and protection from predators and sedimentation. Fragments are securely attached on meshes and placed onto the PVC floating nursery, where they can grow quickly and with high survival rates. Once mature, these corals are transplanted back onto degraded reef areas, helping to restore vibrant, resilient ecosystems while reducing pressure on natural coral populations.
