Coral gardening is the process of cultivating coral fragments and planting them among struggling reefs. It has proven to be a successful and critical step toward large scale coral reef restoration and requires support from visitors like you. Cuba is home to over one-third of the coral reefs in the Caribbean basin. Cuba’s coral restoration program is integral to the conservation and preservation of her reefs, nearly unscathed by large-scale recreational diving like at more popular tourist destinations, but still in danger. During your visit to Cuba, you will adopt a coral and plant it, along with the dive instructor and marine biologists that spearhead this effort at Playa Coral on Cuba’s north coast.
