Boscobel fish sanctuary establishes its first coral nursery!

2015

CARIBSAVE Caribbean Fish Sanctuary Partnership Initiative (C-FISH).

"This blog highlights a coral nursery project in Jamaica. The CARIBSAVE Partnership, the Coral Restoration Foundation International (CRFI), Sandals Foundation and local community members came together for a week during September 2015 to install coral trees for the Boscobels coral nursery. Donor staghorn and elkhorn corals from the vicinity were selected based on their size and health. These corals are typically chosen because they are fast growing, an attractive fish habitat and also play a major role in the wave attenuation. This is the second nursery to be established under the Establishing Coral Nurseries in Jamaica (ESTACON) project which is funded by the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF) and CARIBSAVEs Caribbean Fish Sanctuary Partnership Initiative (C-FISH)."
