Coral Reef Restoration
Buccoo Reef Trust and Boskalis Forge partner to restore Tobago’s Coral Reefs
The Division of Food Security Natural Resources, the Environment, and Sustainable Development orchestrated a pivotal meeting between the Buccoo Reef Trust and Boskalis, a renowned Dutch company specializing in artificial reef technologies. The collaboration focuses on a pilot study leveraging Boskalis’ innovative Modular Sealife System (MOSES), a proven technology that has successfully rejuvenated deteriorating corals in Kenya. Boskalis’ expertise presents an encouraging opportunity for scalable reef restoration projects in Tobago and potentially other regions. This partnership aims to combat climate challenges faced by coastal communities, while establishing resilient infrastructure to safeguard Tobago’s marine ecosystems. Expectation runs high for the positive impact anticipated from this cooperative initiative.
