Coral Gardeners launch new project in ThailandThailand
Our good friends over at Coral Gardeners are diving headfirst into their biggest restoration mission yet, and this time, it’s in the stunning turquoise waters of Thailand. Recently launched, this dual-island project will see Koh Mak and Koh Kood get the VIP coral treatment, with thousands of baby corals already flexing their tiny polyps, ready to rebuild what has been lost.
But let’s talk about the real heroes here: an all-star team of eight trained Thai gardeners who will be getting their hands (and fins) dirty to restore reefs that have been through some serious battles - think dynamite and chemical fishing (yikes).
But with those destructive days firmly in the past, Coral Gardeners are rolling up their wetsuits to give these reefs the second chance they deserve (big yay).

So, what’s the plan? We’re sooo glad you asked. A network of nursery and restoration sites have been created, where these oceanic underdogs will grow, thrive, and hopefully throw the most spectacular underwater comeback party the Gulf of Thailand has ever seen (we want an invite asap).
Climate change may be the ocean’s toughest opponent, but if anyone can fight back with hope, science, and a splash of pure passion - it’s these coral crusaders. So, if you’ve ever dreamed of being part of a real-life ocean rescue mission, now’s your chance to support this fantastic organisation as they turn the tides in Thailand.
Coral Gardeners is a non-governmental organisation, and Since 2012, they have been working internationally and with local communities to protect coral ecosystems around the world.
