Livingseas is a dive operator with a passion for marine conservation, which takes the form of restoration of corals. In the Coral Planting Project, divers are trained to set up Reef Stars on the seabed. 'Broken corals lying on the seabed are rescued and then transferred and tied to the Reef Stars to encourage coral growth. This provides an elevated platform for efficient nutrient absorption of the broken corals from water movements during a tide change.'
