Coral Restoration Project

We have a dream.

An underwater dream that has beautiful coral reefs filled with thriving and bustling marine life. Schools of fish blanket over the reef that spans beyond what our eyes can see.

In reality, our coral reefs are slowly declining in this current environment. Rising sea temperatures, global warming, and pollution from human activities are just some factors that negatively affect our fragile marine environment. The recent El Nino in May 2024 caused the fourth massive global coral bleaching in the last 10 years. Many corals in Thailand were bleached and died.

We, as humans, are able to play a critical role in giving back to our marine environment. By actively assisting in regrowing and maintaining coral reefs using well-tested artificial methods, DiveRACE has an ambitious plan to save our coral reef, one at a time. We strategized and sought help to develop a project that uses specially designed reef structures that are modular and effective in a large-scale setting. This project has been officially endorsed by the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (Thailand).

Our goal is to create a reef that spans over 10,000 square meters and to see an increased fish population at our restoration site. We believe there are many others out there who are as passionate about wanting to give back to our environment. We implore you to come and join our cause, no matter if you are a diver or not!

At the core of our restoration project are the artificial structures, Super Reef Stars. These are specially designed to help improve the survivability of the coral fragments that are planted onto it and to be modular for the ease of logistics. Our Super Reef Stars are made of steel and coated with resin and marine sand. Each of them can hold up to 24 coral fragments!
