Coral rehabilitation and conservative with COCO Collection

We are thrilled to share with you an update on our collaboration with the University of Milano-Bicocca as we welcomed our new Marine Intern, Arianna Pica, this June.

Through analysis of fragments from our coral garden, Arianna has recorded 23 species of coral from 6 different genera using Coral External Morphology and Multi-Zoom Photographic Approach.

From her analysis, it was found that some of these corals are listed under the Maldives Red List of threatened species as both endangered and critically endangered levels of extinction risk, with a global decreasing population trend. It is therefore imperative that we take steps to protect them.

Coco Collection’s coral garden project focuses on branching coral species as these are some of the fastest growing species with a complex 3-dimensional structure. Due to this, they have more habitat space to attract more marine life. These branching corals are also sensitive to breakage due to their delicate forms. Therefore, broken pieces are usually found scattered across our rubble zones. Later, these pieces are collected and placed on the artificial reef frames for a chance of survival and continuation of growth.

Among the endangered species, a Pocillopora meandrina fragment was found partially covered by a greyish mat. This is due to Terpios hoshinota also known as black disease, an encrusting cyanobacteriosponge that infects all species of hard corals in shallow reefs, overgrowing and killing them via nutrient and space competition. Population dynamics of the sponge is limited; therefore, Arianna has started to monitor its progression rate, the affected species, the number of damaged colonies, and its overall level of threats to the corals.

While coral reefs are home to a greater percent of marine life and are highly valuable and critical to the ecosystem, the crucial role of Coral Regrowth project enables to restore and conserve denuded reefs, preserve endangered species, and provide a habitat for many oceanic species.

Coco Collection

Coco Collection runs two islands — Coco Bodu Hithi and Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu that make up the Coco Collection brand.

Luxurious and contemporary, with superb private pool villas and an idyllic overwater spa - Coco Bodu Hithi, the flagship property in Coco Collection’s portfolio, is a chic retreat where you reconnect with yourself, your loved ones and the wonder of the natural world. Translating island life into contemporary sophistication, the resort, which is accessible by a 40-minute speedboat ride from the main Velana International Airport, offers 100 villas that are surrounded by the calm view of the lagoon and the soothing sound of the waves. There are seven chic restaurants, two open air cocktail bars, extensive thatched overwater Coco Spa and a fitness center (with ocean views!). An uncrowded infinity swimming pool and a large selection of activities, including scuba diving and snorkeling in the lagoon. Despite all these facilities, guests - especially at night - tend to seek privacy in a private getaway, possibly with a bottle from Wine Loft.

Coco Palm Dhuni Kolhu is a quiet place in the Maldives where you will find luxury, beauty and privacy at reasonable prices. The resort very well takes care of its environment and creates guests all for a 5-star beach experience in tropical paradise. Dhuni Kolhu is ahead of other hotels in its category by quality, design and amenities. This is a top class, but a simple, laid-back package of key Maldives elements - diving, snorkeling, beach, island and accommodation. Half a mile from tip to tip, a private island of medium size is populated with 98 villas. Snorkeling and scuba diving is awesome amd the guests can freely walk between two restaurants, SPA and sports grounds, using shady paths entwining the lush jungle. The removal of the island takes 30 minutes by seaplane from Male airport. Snorkeling and scuba diving is awesome and the resort offers a number of fun tours, but there is no pool on the island.
