Cleaning day at the coral nursery 🌊🪸

We’re trialing novel offshore experimental rope nurseries designed to be more resilient to UV stress!

Keeping the nursery clean is key — removing algae and other competitors helps give these young corals the best chance to thrive.

🎶 Every move you make… the urchin’s watching you 👀✷

They move their spines to assess if you’re a threat (or a snack!) and protect themselves by facing the danger head-on.

Here at SOAR we try to repurpose everything. From ice cream jars to turkey basters to old buckets, anything can be used if you’re committed to sustainable practices. ♻️💚
