Fuvahmulah land degradation prevention through coral gardening
The objective of the project will be to provide a natural, sustainable and environmentally friendly
solution to a man made problem by gardening coral or asexual coral propagation at the far end of
the channels and growing the reef to its original level, hence effectively stopping the deadly and
devastating rip currents. And by stopping the rip currents, bringing an end to the land degradation
of the surrounding beaches and restoring the natural beach formation process and loss of life. This
objective falls directly within the focal area of coastal zone management and rehabilitation.
