Coral nursery restoration work in clear Vanuatu water

Your donation pays for active work: coral growing in our harbour nurseries, and planting back onto the reef around Port Vila and Paradise Cove. The same Seafront team that runs our tours looks after this programme.

This is a donation, not a tour. Choose an option online, or give in person at our office next to Nambawan Cafe.

What you can pay for

Coral Fragment · $20 AUD

A piece of coral grown in our harbour nursery. Your donation helps pay for that fragment and the work to keep it growing, then plant it back onto the reef when it is ready.

Employ a local · half day · $50 AUD

Pays for half a day of work by our Ni Vanuatu team on nursery care, planting or related reef work around Port Vila.

Employ a local · full day · $75 AUD

Pays for a full day of that same local crew time on the restoration programme.

Essential Equipment Purchase · $50 AUD

Helps buy and replace the gear we use for nursery and planting work: frames, ties, tools and similar kit. Exact items change with what the team needs next.

Sponsor a full Coral Table · $500 AUD

A coral table is the underwater frame that holds many growing fragments in the nursery. Sponsoring one funds a full table and the work to set it up and care for it.

Sponsor a ghost gear clean-up · $1,000 AUD

Ghost gear is lost or abandoned fishing gear — nets, lines and traps that keep catching fish and can damage reef long after anyone is using them. This donation funds a clean-up to find and remove that gear from the water around Port Vila.
