 Reef Balls: A Concrete Solution
Text & Photos by: Sylvie Yaffe
Earth Day was celebrated all over the world, but in Thailand it went beyond the usual beach clean up. An exciting event took place in Phuket; Thailand became the 50th country to launch a reef ball. This is an important first in the race to protect the marine environment in Thailand. The Reef Ball Foundation, together with The Racha resort and Racha Seamaster Divers are the first in Thailand to make a commitment to this new reef conservation program. It started on Koh Racha Yai, one of Phuket's most visited diving sites and will hopefully be copied through all of Thailand.
It was a learning experience for all who participated: Phillip Goh, director of Racha Seamaster Divers, Jesada "Man" Na Ranong, a dive master working there, Sabine Brosch from Sea Bees Dive Center, some of the staff from The Racha and myself. At the end of the 4-day program, after completing Thailand's first four reef balls, we all received our official certification as Reef Ball volunteers, not to mention some invaluable education about reefs, making reef balls, handling and saving corals. |
