This system enables corals to grow faster so that they can be later relocated to reefs around Phuket (in collaboration with local reef NGOs and government agencies) that have been damaged by tourism activities in places like Phi-Phi island (where 90% of the reef is now dead due to the daily 5000+ tourists in the last 18 years), Racha Island, Coral Island and other reefs around Phuket.. Beyond its scientific purpose we plan to make THE PHUKET CORAL FARM a future educational tourist attraction for all nature lover.<\/p>\n

Coral reefs contain some of the most diverse ecosystems, providing habitat and shelter for animal life and marine organisms, regulating the food chain which include thousands of species and directly affecting our living conditions. Aside from providing a buffer, protecting our coasts from waves, storms and floods, Corals seem to shelter incredibly valuable organisms that have helped create drugs used by the health industry.<\/p>\n
But reefs cover less than 1% of the sea floor<\/a> and are fragile. Stressful conditions cause the coral animals to eject the algae that live in them, a process called bleaching, which makes them vulnerable to disease, parasites, and death. Our Carbon Footprint is the amount of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) our daily recreational and professional activities generate. From burning fuel in the power plant producing the electricity that we use in hotels and houses, from burning fuel in our automobiles, boats and air travel.<\/p>\n The increasing emissions of CARBON DIOXIDE \u00a0(CO2) produced by human\u00a0activities are released into the atmosphere, they contribute to global warming and climate change by adding up to natural cycles.<\/p>\n The majority of that extra CO2 is absorbed by the oceans beyond their natural capacity to do so.<\/strong><\/p>\n As a result sea water temperatures rise and chemical changes provoke the ocean\u2019s acidification\u00a0
