Mana Re-plants Coral Lost During Cyclone Mick

The Mamanucas took a bad hit with Cyclone Mick last month. Unfortunately for Mana island resort their newly constructed coral cookies had been ruined during this cyclone. With no more time to waste MES was in Mana two weeks later assisting with the re-construction of new coral cookies for the project. We managed to construct 110 coral cookies but we will continue making more.
These coral cookies were placed at the South Beach and we plan to proceed with the placement of coral cookies at North Beach.

Fact of the Day

As many as 100 million sharks are killed each year for their meat and fins, which are used for shark fin soup. Hunters typically catch the sharks, de-fin them while alive and throw them back into the ocean where they either drown or bleed to death.
