1.To’A Nui program – preserving the coral reef
Coral reefs are a unique ecosystem in the world, but they are also among the most fragile systems in the world! Pollution, intensive tourism, global warming, fishing… nowadays, 60% of the world’s coral reefs are endangered. In order to anticipate and stop this process in French Polynesia and more particularly in Moorea, the Manava Beach Resort & Spa Moorea wanted to create a coral nursery.
Since 2001, the hotel has been involved with a Polynesian company, Espace Bleu, in one of the first projects of this scale in French Polynesia: the creation of a coral nursery at the Manava Beach Resort & Spa Moorea.
The objective of the To’A Nui program is to find solutions for the preservation of underwater species, and to develop actions for the reseeding of clams in the Moorea lagoon.
This initiative will allow the repopulation of the species in the Maharepa lagoon, and the promotion of an ecotourism program through the creation of flower gardens and underwater trails.
