Imagine spending your days scuba diving on one of Africa’s most beautiful coral reefs. Well, that’s the reality for Rosalie Bailie, a Marine Biologist based at Diani Beach in Kenya. Her mission: to restore the coral reef.
To achieve this mission, Rosalie and her team collect pieces of broken coral before they die and hang them in a coral nursery. Once the pieces of coral are nice and healthy, they are transferred back onto the reef using artificial reef structures.
The team also works with tourists to educate them on the importance of the reef and how to safely interact with it.
Rosalie works for REEFolution Foundation. It restores coral reefs by working with local communities in developing countries and helps them to develop long term, sustainable, community-based coral reef management.
