Anbaglo Restoring Dive Sites in Saint Lucia’s North
Share this post:
A major coral reef restoration in the northern part of Saint Lucia is aiming to solve an environmental concern while offering divers a more exciting underwater experience. This year, in anticipation of Earth Day (April 22), four sailboats were sunk in two locations in the Gros Islet district: two just off the Reduit coastline near an isolated rock, and two near Rat Island. The sailboats were purchased at low cost from IGY Rodney Bay Marina where they were previously docked for years subsequent to legal proceedings.
The exercise was phase one of a larger initiative called the North Project which aims to create a coral farm in the island’s North by using old vessels that will become reefs over time. In phase two, some youngsters will be trained to become coral gardeners.
