MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Like the coral reefs and the ocean, the Alunan Coral Project does not belong to the Resort, it belongs to you!
Therefore it is crucial that we work together to achieve a shared future. The following are a few ways that you can contribute to the cause.
ADOPT THESE CORALS
These are the common coral species that we rehabilitate the reef with as they are native to this part of the island and have shown resilience through a few bleaching episodes. Having several species in the reef will increase biodiversity.
Staghorns
Staghorn corals look like the antlers of a male deer.
Most staghorn corals belongs to the vast Acropora spp.
Cauliflower
The short branchlets resembles cauliflower. This Pocillopora spp. can sometimes be found living healthily on swimming lines.
Hedgehog
This is the common name for the branching coral of Echinopora spp. It is recognized from the prickly bumps.
Boulder
Boulder corals grow slowly at about 1.9 cm/year. When you see a boulder coral, it probably is older than you are!
Table
Table coral grows horizontally, forming a broad flat surface sometimes in tiers. Be careful as they are very fragile.
