Community Actions

In 2017, children and their families participated in “Team Mira Sango”, a fins-off program developed in cooperation with PADI® Marine School initiative. The program consists of nursing juvenile coral stocks and observing how they are planted and grow on the ocean floor from a glass-bottom boat, or while snorkeling. The children involved wrote messages and drew pictures on pegs which they use to plant coral stocks. Participants for this event were selected from the local community as part of PADI's contribution to Marine Week. The initiative was broadcasted by National Geographic in July during the week of National Ocean day.
