During the dives, the guests are invited to study the health of the corals; on them, they have been attaching cut fragments secured with zip ties and fishing line.The Velassaru Coral Project will also enable the collection of required information from the project besides developing guest experiences. Every dive into the artificial reef accounts for health corals through itemized color, size, and species of the observed corals. Regular surveys are also conducted to monitor environmental factors including temperature and water quality as a rise by two degrees leads to coral bleaching. The team is also responsible for continuous prevalence monitoring of common coral diseases, white syndrome, and pests that affect corals' health.Often seen swimming around the small reefs not too far from the artificial site, the team at Velassaru hopes to see more normal shark activity with the coral and fish populations growing. Sharks are quite crucial to this delicate balance and health and diversity of surrounding reefs inasmuch as they act as predators.All data collected in the Velassaru Coral Project will be uploaded into the global database known as Coral Watch, therefore providing information concerning the state of the coral reefs and all that is being preserved. Contributions like that help reefs regain health in the Maldives and contribute generally to research and preservation globally.This will enable Velassaru Maldives to, in an integrated approach, provide the support for the growth of coral and biodiversity of the marine environment along with an educative experience for all its visitors. In this way, both of them will contribute to a sustainable future for the oceans.
