Snorkeling the Coral Farm at Makogai Island Reserch Center in Fiji

Episode #291 : Season 9 : The South Pacific

Hello Friends,

On this episode I wake up in the peaceful anchorage of Makogai Island and enjoy fresh papaya given to me by Pow at the Fiji Fisheries village. In the beautiful morning light I head out on a dinghy adventure to check out the coral and clam farm off of the old pier at the Makogai Island Marine Research Center ( https://www.levukafiji.com/makogai/ )

This coral and clam farm is a safe haven and nursery for the endangered giant clams, sea turtles as well as young coral. The marine biologists and field researchers grow the coral and clams to maturity then distribute them around the Fijian islands to help replenish the coral beds that have suffered destruction from both mass bleaching events and cyclones, most notability Cyclone Winston in 2016.
