HOW WE'RE PROTECTING REEFS
We are too new in this field but not the method we used. MTGA uses cutting-edge methods developed around the world – growing corals up to 1x to 2x faster than in nature. This method requires regular maintenance to ensure the coral nubbin do not compete with moss and algae to grow.
However, this method is seen to be better than other methods, especially in producing abundant and healthy coral seeds to be used for restoration activities.
What Is Coral Farming?
Coral farming is the process whereby fragments of corals are collected from local reefs, raised on the nursery table in farm until mature, and then installed at the restoration site. After decades of scientific, small-scale, and community-based projects around the world, this has been shown to be a viable method for restoring degraded reefs.
With the advent of innovative coral farming techniques, now is the time to launch large-scale restoration efforts to revive and protect our world’s valuable and threatened coral reef ecosystems.

Restoration Process
MTGA restores reefs by growing and transplanting resilient corals.
We restore reefs using a proven 5-step process.
RAISE
Improved resiliency methods in our farm (in-situ).
