We began with a lecture on coral reefs\u2019 biology and ecology by Laetita H\u00e9douin, a researcher specialized in coral\u2019s early life stages. Then, we continued the workshop with Antoine Puisay, a PhD student working on coral reefs, who showed us how to make a coral transplantation.The method for coral transplantation is quite simple\u00a0: it consists of fixing a coral fragment on a grid that we set up directly in the lagoon. The coral will start developping, and once it\u2019s big enough, we can reintroduce it in damaged coral reef areas. These locations have to be selected carefully to ensure the coral transplantation\u2019s success.<a href=\"http:\/\/www.temanaotemoana.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bouturage-3.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-11487\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright  wp-image-11487\" src=\"http:\/\/www.temanaotemoana.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bouturage-3-382x213.jpg\" alt=\"bouturage-3\" width=\"239\" height=\"133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.temanaotemoana.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bouturage-3-382x213.jpg 382w, https:\/\/www.temanaotemoana.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bouturage-3-600x335.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.temanaotemoana.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/Bouturage-3.jpg 640w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 239px) 100vw, 239px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">We must look for an area that has, or used to have, healthy coral reefs and where water quality is good enough to allow the coral transplant to develop.\u00a0The team followed this workshop for an upcoming project as part of our pedagogical programs which aims to teach children about coral growth, its fragility the necessity for its protection. We are planning to include a coral transplantation activity where each child will build his own little coral transplant using damaged or unused coral pieces. The organisation will send updates to classes on the coral reefs development, and year after year kids will have the opportunity to see their own coral grow, until we reintroduce them in a damaged area.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This project aims to give more hands-on experience on conservation methods to children and allows them to get involve in marine wildlife protection.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the 16th of September, our\u00a0team went to the CRIOBE\/IRCP (Center of Insular Research and Observatory of the Environment \/ Institute for Coral Reefs in the Pacific) for a workshop on a coral transplantation method.
