In August this year a cruise ship anchor destroyed a 12,000 square foot area of coral reef close to Don Fosters Dive Shop in George Town, Grand Cayman. Volunteers are needed to help in removing rubble and salvaging live coral on the site.  Volunteers are using special marine epoxy to re-attach surviving coral back to the reef. So far, around 50 crates of live coral have been salvaged, but much live coral is still buried beneath rubble. Volunteers are urged to keep contributing their time and skills. Anyone can volunteer to help, so long as they are dive certified and have DAN insurance. Anyone who wishes to volunteer can go to the Cayman Magic Reef Recovery Facebook page for details. Dives are usually scheduled every weekend.
